TAMPA, Fla. On the corner of N Dale Mabry Hwy and W Columbus Blvd, a group of Cuban-Americans continues to stand for the voiceless. We stand here to be the voice of the Cuban people. To be the voice they are not allowed to have, Dunia Barrios said.
Barrios was born in Cuba and got her freedom in 1980. She came to the United States to escape the communist regime. If I was in Cuba I d be out in the streets too. Since I m not there, I want to be out here. I don t have to, but I m thinking of my family that s still there, Barrios said.

Florida Black lawmakers said DeSantis s contrasting response to the protests was hypocritical.
Law enforcement officials seemed eager to avoid directly addressing Florida’s tough new protest law.
TALLAHASSEE – Crowds in Florida cities rallying and blocking roadways in support of anti-government protests in Cuba may be putting Gov. Ron DeSantis at odds with a tough new law he championed following last year’s Black Lives Matter demonstrations.
