TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A loud group of chanting protesters disrupted a Florida House session over proposals to ban sanctuary cities for immigrants, limit felon voting rights and other controversial bills.
Chanting slogans such as “stand up fight back” and displaying banners that read “strong hearts fight back,” about two dozen people brought debate in the House to a temporary standstill Wednesday from the gallery. Lawmakers were debating a bill authorizing hemp as a crop.
