Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Monday allowing him to identify and label domestic terrorist organizations — and he said state police were already building cases against several of them. At a news conference at the University of South Florida, he said police were “working already” to apply the label to the Muslim civil rights organization Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, and the Muslim Brotherhood, an international Islamist movement…. HB 1471, passed by the Legislature last month, allows the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to identify groups as “domestic terrorists,” powers that are typically reserved for the federal government. Groups would have to be found engaging in “terrorist activity” as defined in state law and pose “an ongoing threat” to security. The governor and Cabinet would have to approve the designation. The bill provides no new powers to arrest or prosecute such organizations. Instead, it would bar state and local governments from providing public money to them — a response to reports of Islamic schools receiving public vouchers. The bill would also immediately expel college students found to support terrorist organizations in what critics believe is an attempt to stamp out left-wing and anti-Israel protesters on college campuses. A University of South Florida student who spoke at Monday’s news conference referenced the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests at USF in which 10 people were arrested, mostly for misdemeanors such as trespassing.

Antifa? Aren’t they the “direct action” wing of the Democratic Party?
Ron DeSantis for President of the United States in 2028 !!!
Corallary:
Every non-citizen who gives AID & COMFORT to a terrorist organization is deported...their PRIVILEGE to be in the US is revoked. Their RIGHTS are not touched.... unless they actively committed a crime.
Terrorist organizations already include Hezbollha, etc.
be careful ... you’ll draw out the quacks with a post like that ...
Many are called. Few are chosen.
DeSantis isn’t particularly flashy or charismatic, but the man knows how to govern effectively and very, very rarely makes mistakes on which his opponents can capitalize.
Go DeSantis
Thank you for your attention to this matter
DeSantis is an amazing governor. We’re lucky to have such a man.
