Thousands of protesters spread out across Southwest Florida in solidarity with Cuban citizens Tuesday from Port Charlotte to Naples. Protesters also gathered in Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Fort Myers and Clewiston.
Major roads were blocked off for several hours Tuesday night as protesters walked the streets in the downtown areas of Fort Myers and Naples.
People were also protesting all day in Miami on Tuesday into the night on the Palmetto Expressway. The protests shut down part of the highway and backed up traffic for hours.
