DeSantis suspends Soros-backed attorney for neglecting duty to prosecute violent criminals.

Florida Gov. ​Ron DeSantis suspends ⁤Democrat state attorney backed by leftist billionaire George Soros

Florida Governor Ron ⁣DeSantis took action on Wednesday by suspending a Democrat ‍state⁤ attorney who was supported by billionaire ‌George Soros. The governor accused her of failing to prosecute violent crime in her jurisdiction. ⁣DeSantis emphasized the ‍importance of upholding the law and ensuring justice for ‍the people of Central Florida.

According to the governor’s executive order, State Attorney Monique Worrell of the ​9th Judicial Circuit, a ‌Democrat with jurisdiction over Orlando, is facing‍ suspension⁣ for enabling practices that ​allow violent offenders, drug traffickers, serious juvenile offenders,⁤ and ‌pedophiles to evade incarceration. DeSantis specifically pointed out Worrell’s ⁢tendency ​to avoid minimum mandatory sentences for gun-related crimes.

During her 2020 primary election ‌campaign, Worrell received significant support from a political committee affiliated with ⁣Soros, which spent $1.5​ million on ads. This raised concerns⁤ about her impartiality and commitment to enforcing ‌the​ law.

DeSantis’ order highlighted the potential risks posed by Worrell’s leniency towards criminals, stating that it puts the residents of Orange and ‍Osceola Counties at increased‌ risk of harm. ⁢This ​is the⁢ second time‍ DeSantis has removed a prosecutor for failing to enforce the law, demonstrating his​ commitment to upholding the⁣ will ⁢of the people.
