TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) – “You have just declared war on the First Amendment in the state of Florida.” Strong words on Monday afternoon from State Senator Shevrin Jones, D-Miami Gardens, directed at Governor Ron DeSantis just hours after signing HB-1, the so-called anti-riot bill.
The law, which went into effect immediately, creates a new crime of “mob intimidation,” enhances riot-related penalties and makes it harder for local officials to reduce spending on law enforcement.

Coral Gables has a new mayor. On April 13, Vince Lago was chosen by the Coral Gables residents to be their next mayor, replacing Mayor Raúl Valdés-Faul after four terms in city hall.
The election’s recurring theme was marked by debate over the City Beautiful losing its character in the name of progress.
Lago defeated candidates Patricia Keon and Jackson Rip Holmes, earning around 60 percent of approximately 10,000 votes cast.
Lago, 43 celebrated his win at Bay 13 surrounded by friends and family.
“I am feeling euphoric; this is a win for the community,” said Lago. “The community sent a strong message today. We won emphatically, even over some pretty adverse situations.”
