Lawmakers released the final product Friday, two weeks before a deadline that would’ve sent the state government into a never-before-seen shutdown. But there’s still work to do.

With anti-Trump administration demonstrations planned across Florida and the nation this Saturday, state officials are warning protesters not to break the law. "We are not California," said Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier at a Thursday press conference. "We do not allow rioting in the state of Florida."The remarks were made in the wake of a week of tense and sometimes violent police-protester encounters in other states spurred by concern over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

Los legisladores de Florida votaron el jueves para extender la sesión legislativa hasta el 18 de junio, dándoles tiempo para definir el presupuesto y las exenciones fiscales. Pero no demasiado tiempo. El presupuesto (este link está en inglés) debe ser aprobado y recibir la firma del gobernador Ron DeSantis antes de fin de mes, o el gobierno estatal entrará en un cierre parcial.

PEN America, a First Amendment advocacy group, has just weighed in on the cease-and-desist letter sent to a Florida reporter. "This is a textbook case of prior restraint: an unconstitutional attempt by the state of Florida to stop news reporting before a story is published." https://t.co/ExWSkqlGve
First Amendment attorneys cited a number of issues with the DCF cease-and-desist letter, starting with it being unsigned and not directed to a specific attorney in the Orlando Sentinel's legal department. https://t.co/PnlAn6DTq5
