DeSantis suspends Democratic elected prosecutor who signed a pledge on abortion, transgender cases
Legal experts described the decision to suspend Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren as alarming because it appears to be punishing an elected official exercising prosecutorial discretion on issues the governor disagrees with.
While there currently is no ban in the state on gender-affirming surgery, DeSantis said Warren shouldn’t preemptively say he would not prosecute if a law is passed. Warren was also instrumental in helping formerly incarcerated people regain their voting rights after DeSantis signed into law restrictions to a voter-approved constitutional amendment allowing them to register to vote.
Warren was asked at the news conference what he was doing when he learned that DeSantis had suspended him.
