Following recent violent demonstrations targeting ICE and Border Patrol officers in California, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued a stern warning Thursday: Florida is no place for rioters or "doxers" attempting to intimidate law enforcement.

Florida is prepared for anti-immigration enforcement protests being organized by a coalition of dozens of groups called No Kings, who also oppose President Donald Trump’s planned 250th anniversary of the U.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said the state is ready to handle any violence that may happen at "No Kings" protests across the state.

A rumor that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said drivers are allowed to run over protesters with their cars if they feel threatened spread in June 2025 as debate raged over nationwide protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids at the behest of President Donald Trump's administration.

Florida is the first state in the country to be assigned a 287 (g) liaison officer by ICE, which provides a direct line of communication between ICE and state and local law enforcement.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is cautioning against potential riots as immigration protests unfold nationwide amidst Trump’s immigration crackdown. Immigration enforcement officials joined Uthmeier to discuss the consequences of protests turning violent.
