Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Wednesday morning that he has suspended Monique Worrell, State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit, for dereliction of duty and incompetence.

DeSantis said that Worrell, who was backed by a group tied to Democrat billionaire George Soros, has allowed murderers, other violent offenders, and dangerous drug traffickers to receive extremely reduced sentences and escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct.

The policies and practices mentioned in the executive order that have led to her removal from office include Avoiding Minimum Mandatory Sentences for Gun Crimes, Avoiding Minimum Mandatory Sentences for Drug Trafficking Offenses, Allowing Juvenile Offenders to Avoid Serious Charges and Incarceration Altogether, Avoiding Valid and Applicable Sentencing Enhancements, Limiting Charges for Child Pornography, and Seeking Withhold of Adjudication in Situations Not Permitted Under Florida Law.

The move by DeSantis comes almost exactly one-year after he removed another woke Soros prosecutor, State Attorney Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit, from office.
