Ron DeSantis slams liberal New York and California for doing nothing about the ... trends now

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed he ended the 'squatter scam' in the Sunshine State after signing a bill into law Wednesday that will speed up the process for homeowners to evict unwanted tenants. 

The law allows for the immediate removal of squatters if certain conditions are met. 

It's a stark contrast with states like New York and California, which are notoriously difficult places to get squatters removed. 

In a victory lap interview celebrating the new law Wednesday evening, DeSantis ripped the liberal states for siding with squatters. 

'It was never intended that you could just go into some subdivision and break into a house and start living there and then all the sudden have all these rights,' he said. 

'In New York there was a case, and it was reported, where the homeowner went when someone had taken over her house and the police did not evict the squatters the police ended up arresting the homeowner,' DeSantis decried. 

The governor was seemingly referring to the case of Adele Andaloro, 47, who inherited property on a quiet street in Flushing, Queens. But when she planned to sell it, a squatter had replaced the front door and changed the locks.
