Those who stand against the new law argue it\u2019s taking away their first amendment rights, like freedom of speech, and the right to peaceably assemble. But those in favor say the law is necessary in order to prevent riots and violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is the strongest anti-rioting, pro-law enforcement piece of legislation in the country,\u201d said Governor Ron DeSantis, during a press conference where he signed the bill into law on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its policy Governor Ron DeSantis announced in September of last year, following a handful of violent protests across the state and nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He signed the bill into law on Monday, and since then, a social justice group in Orlando has sued the governor for violating constitutional rights<\/a>, and people have taken to the streets in protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis HB 1 law that was just signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, that is unconstitutional, it\u2019s trying to suppress some of the freedom of speech that we have in the first amendment,\u201d said Sasha Mincey, a protester from Orlando who attended Saturday\u2019s BLM Tampa protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governor DeSantis argues the law protects people from violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you riot, if you loot, if you harm others, particularly if you harm a law enforcement officer during one of these violent assemblies, you\u2019re going to jail,\u201d said Governor DeSantis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
