A judge has ruled that Florida Gov. DeSantis was within his rights to suspend a state prosecutor he viewed as 'woke.'
According to DeSantis' executive order suspending Warren in August, the state attorney demonstrated "incompetence and willful defiance of his duties" by implementing certain "policies of presumptive non-enforcement" and by co-signing a left-leaning advocacy group's public statements about state laws criminalizing gender-affirming care and abortions.
Suspended prosecutor Andrew Warren arrives at U.S. District Court in Tallahassee, Fla., with his legal team, including David O’Neil , on Dec. 1, 2022."Running a state attorney's office is the state attorney's job, not the governor's," Hinkle wrote. "A governor cannot properly suspend a state attorney based on policy differences."
After the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade last year, Warren joined more than 80 local, elected prosecutors from around the country in signing a statement saying, "[We] commit to exercise our well-settled discretion and refrain from prosecuting those who seek, provide, or support abortions."
