DeSantis signs Florida law to label groups as terrorists and expel student supporters

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a measure into law Monday that gives him along with other Florida leaders the ability to label groups as domestic or foreign terrorist organizations and expel state university students who support them. The law, criticized by free speech advocates, allows a top official at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to designate a group as a domestic or foreign terrorist organization, with the governor and three other members of the Florida Cabinet approving or rejecting the designation. Once designated a terrorist organization, a group can be dissolved and it can no longer receive any state funding through school districts or state agencies.
