DeSantis Warns Pro-Palestine Student Protesters: ‘You Are Going to Be Expelled’

Contained protests have already erupted at Florida campuses, like the University of Florida.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent a message to the state’s college students that the campuses in Gainesville and Tallahassee would not turn into any semblance of the pro-Hamas-packed schools in the Northeast like Columbia and Yale.

“At places like Columbia and Yale, Hamas protesters rule the roost, and the universities are too weak and scared to do anything—even as these mobs harass Jewish students and faculty,” the governor said on X (formerly Twitter). “If you try that at a Florida university, you are going to be expelled.”
