Last month, a member of the Democratic National Committee got kicked out of the Port of Miami during a public meeting and press event after action by the law enforcement agency that reports to Floridas Governor.
Newly released public records reveal that an official from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) visited the Miami-Dade Police Department to provide secret information aimed at statewide elected DNC member Tomas Kennedy.
An FDLE Special Agent visited the Miami-Dade PD on April 7th, 2021, to deliver what must have been a stark warning about Kennedy, whom their police report describes as a known agitator. Interestingly, the phrase professional agitator is a DeSantis saying he used when announcing Floridas anti-protest law last September to describe the political opponents he wishes to silence with the states new law he signed last week.
County officers detained him a day later.
Then they expelled him from the Governors press conference while giving the public a reason that contradicted their own police report.
Now, the Miami-Dade police are slow-walking mandatory records production which would shed more light on the incident. Theyre also claiming the FDLEs briefing materials are no longer in their possession.

Pretty sad that desantis used his own voter suppression/'anti-protester' bill to silence this person. Pretty cowardly if you ask me.
