Governor Ron DeSantis was met by dozens of people Tuesday protesting new immigration laws and policies in Florida as he left a press conference in Apopka. As the governor's car left the event, dozens of Central Floridians were waiting for him and called on him to stop using taxpayer money to fund ICE raids and deportations. Rene Gomez was among them.
