In October 2023, Florida officials, under the direction of Governor Ron DeSantis, ordered the deactivation of the University of Florida chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). The ACLU of Florida sued to defend the students' First Amendment rights. However, a judge has recently dismissed the ACLUFL's lawsuit, marking a legal victory for Governor DeSantis and upholding his efforts to remove the pro-Palestinian group from campuses.
