Florida Attorney General Moody reassures Newsmax that Florida law enforcement will not tolerate criminals.

Florida Attorney General praised the state’s swift response to protesters causing traffic disruptions as part of a coordinated effort over Israel’s actions against Hamas in Gaza. Video footage from Chicago and San Francisco showed blocked traffic, while Miami police removed protesters near PortMiami with minimal disruption and seven arrests.

“Here in Florida, we’re calling it what it is. It’s criminal,” stated Moody on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.” “We’re empowering our police to act decisively with the support of their leaders.”

A social media post on X showed police dragging protesters, with the caption praising Florida for its efficient handling of the situation.

Referencing a law giving protection to drivers who injure protesters blocking traffic, Moody emphasized the need to protect law-abiding citizens and prevent disruptive behavior.
