The Tampa-based state attorney who was suspended by Gov. Ron DeSantis last week for “incompetence and willful defiance of his duties” said he will vigorously defend his legal rights but has not provided details.

DeSantis suspended Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit for what the governor said was “neglect of duty.” In an executive order, DeSantis pointed to a statement Warren signed with other elected prosecutors in support of gender-transition treatments for youth and bathroom usage based on gender identity. Warren also said he would not pursue criminal cases against people who seek or provide abortions.

Though Florida has not enacted any criminal statutes barring such gender-transition treatments, Warren’s statements show that “Warren thinks he has authority to defy the Florida Legislature and nullify in his jurisdiction criminal laws with which he disagrees,” the executive order states.
