Protester storms DeSantis’ press conference

During a press conference held today in Bradenton, Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis was abruptly interrupted by a protester just three minutes into his remarks. The governor had just begun by remembering wrestling star Hulk Hogan and announcing his passing when a man in the audience began shouting, hurling insults, and directly confronting DeSantis about the detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” The protester accused him of leading a “shitty legacy” and publicly denounced inhumane conditions at the facility, located in Florida’s Everglades, which has faced criticism from environmentalists and far-left human rights advocates.

The governor responded by requesting that the man be removed, which was carried out by security as the individual continued shouting outside the room. Despite the disruption, DeSantis proceeded with his presentation, during which he also announced that Manatee County would be part of the first round of state audits under the DOGE initiative, aimed at reviewing the management of local governments. The incident highlights growing tensions surrounding Florida’s immigration policies and how they continue to provoke intense reactions from illegal immigration advocates and supporters of the Democratic Party and the American far left.
