A woman in Florida is under arrest after allegedly assaulting troopers in the state this week.
After the incident, Governor Ron DeSantis talked about it during a press briefing and reminded people that Florida is not Minneapolis, and that there are consequences for that kind of behavior.
This is the simple sort of thing that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is seemingly incapable of doing. It’s the sort of basic thing most people learn in childhood.
RedState reported:
Florida is, of course, one of those Republican-led states that has been more than happy to lead at the state level on the issue of working with the feds to get criminal illegal immigrants off the streets, as we’ve seen, for instance, with the creation of Alligator Alcatraz, a temporary detention center located in the Florida Everglades where illegal immigrants are processed before deportation to their home countries.
The Sunshine State is also led by a law-and-order governor, Ron DeSantis, who has long made it clear to radical leftist “protestors” that if they try to cause trouble, they should be ready to face the consequences of their actions.
As it turns out, that process is underway after an incident on Tuesday involving a Jacksonville woman who Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said took out her frustrations with ICE on state troopers during an immigration enforcement operation – and was taken into custody:
This is Jennifer Cruz of Jacksonville. Jennifer disagrees with immigration enforcement and decided to commit a few felonies by getting out of her car and punching a Trooper in the face.
But unlike Minnesota, we don’t put up with this nonsense. Not today, Jennifer. pic.twitter.com/vw28UPJ9Kn

DeSantis commented:
Gov. Ron DeSantis also addressed the incident during a press conference, saying, “I do know there was a woman who came out and assaulted one of our troopers. Let me just tell you guys, this is not Minneapolis. That is not going to end well for you in Florida […] the idea that you’re going to assault one of our troopers is unacceptable, and you are going to face consequences as a result.”

Is Tim Walz taking notes? This is what a real governor sounds like.
