Florida prosecutor Andrew Warren — who Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended from office after Warren pledged to not prosecute women who violated the state's new 15-week abortion ban — is now suing the governor.
The lawsuit alleges Gov. Ron DeSantis overstepped his authority to suspend elected officials from office because he did so with Warren only for signing pledges, rather than in response to an official action. | Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Ousted Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit arguing Gov.
It also alleges DeSantis overstepped his authority to suspend elected officials from office because he did so with Warren only for signing pledges, rather than in response to an official action. The issue is likely now headed to the Republican-led Florida Senate, which would have to take action before Warren is formally removed from office.
Warren, in his lawsuit, claims his suspension amounts to political payback over policy disagreements. Warren’s lawsuit also notes that he has “never been referred a case involving a request to prosecute abortion-related crimes,” so he has never refused to prosecute under any state law, despite signing the abortion pledge.
