A group of left-wing protesters in Florida staged a sit-in at the office of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) after the governor signed a slew of conservative legislation.
The group, Dream Defenders, said it was protesting the "entirety" of DeSantis's governance rather than individual legislation and would not leave his office until the governor spoke with them.
A group of 14 protesters were arrested Wednesday evening after ignoring warnings to vacate the premises, the Defenders said in a press release obtained by the Washington Examiner. The protesters were given a 20-minute warning and a 30-minute warning and are expected to face a one-year ban from the state Capitol grounds and trespassing charges.
“It is about the entirety of his governance and his attempts to divide the people of Florida by attacking the most vulnerable people,” Akin Olla, a spokesman for Dream Defenders, told the Hill.
