Is Cuban-Americans’ highway protest in Miami breaking Florida’s new anti-riot law? Ana Ceballos , Charles Rabin, Miami Herald
Dozens of people supporting the growing anti-government protests in Cuba clogged one of Miami’s busiest highways all afternoon and well into rush hour Tuesday, a show of solidarity that could put them in violation of a new law championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The new law, known as the “anti-riot” law, is clear: A person shall be cited for a pedestrian violation if they “willfully obstruct the free, convenient, and normal use of a public street, highway or road.” For instance, if a person stands or remains on a street, highway or roadway, they would be in violation of a section in state laws that would subject them to a $15 traffic citation.

The Florida legislative session was busy for lawmakers, who oversaw the passage of 3,095 bills and a $101.5 billion budget. One of the most promising developments included a new law designed to expand broadband access in the Sunshine State.
Signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis on May 7, the Broadband Deployment Act, or HB 1239, takes important strides toward addressing barriers that hinder the expansion of high-speed internet service.
In many rural communities, wooden utility poles are the backbone of the telecommunications infrastructure. Reaching a single home may require attachments to 10 or more poles, so any unnecessary delays or expenses associated with that process can have a profound impact on local efforts to expand broadband service.
