Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Tampa's top prosecutor, Andrew Warren, citing public statements he made indicating he would not criminalize abortion.

, which stated in part that "we stand together in our firm belief that prosecutors have a responsibility to refrain from using limited criminal legal system resources to criminalize personal medical decisions."

"That is what the legislature has enacted, and it's not for him to put himself above that and say that he is not going to enforce the laws," DeSantis said about Warren. The governor named Susan Lopez, a judge he appointed to the Hillsborough County Court, to replace Warren and serve as temporary state attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit.DeSantis said the suspension follows a statewide review of state attorneys that narrowed in on Warren's office. The governor said he did not speak with Warren throughout that process.

"It spits in the face of the voters of Hillsborough County who have twice elected me to serve them, not Ron DeSantis," he said in a statement.
