Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered the arrest of Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon after she staged an illegal sit-in protest at the governor's office. Nixon was protesting the newly passed 2026 Florida House redistricting map, which adds four additional GOP seats. DeSantis' chief of staff confirmed the arrest in a single-word statement: "Arrested."
Nixon is the same legislator who previously stormed the Florida House floor with a bullhorn while the redistricting map was being voted on. The incident marks the latest clash between DeSantis and Florida Democrats over the state's political maps. Video of Nixon's meltdown and arrest has gone viral on social media, with conservatives celebrating DeSantis' no-nonsense approach to handling disruptive protests at state offices.
