SUMMARY: Michael Brennan, director of the National Hurricane Center, discussed potential Tropical Cyclone 4, currently over Eastern Cuba, with limited development anticipated in the next 12-18 hours. However, once it moves into the Florida Straits, conditions may favor its evolution into a tropical depression and eventually a tropical storm. Central Florida faces significant rainfall risks, with totals expected between 4-12 inches, leading to potential flooding, especially in urban areas. The storm’s track remains uncertain, influenced by its organization and interaction with surrounding weather patterns. The Hurricane Hunters are gathering data to refine forecasts, emphasizing the need for awareness of flooding hazards.

SUMMARY: A recent Florida crackdown, “Operation Tidal Wave,” led to nearly 800 arrests of illegal immigrants across major cities, including Jacksonville. Immigration attorney Michelle Fanger expressed concern for her clients, many of whom are legally navigating the citizenship process. They are fearful of being detained, avoiding work, and hesitant to attend mandatory immigration interviews due to the threat of deportation. Fanger advises her clients to be cautious around law enforcement and to avoid associating with individuals who may have deportation orders. She also noted that having a child in the U.S. does not guarantee the right to stay.

DeSantis heckled during red snapper news conference | Florida

Published

(The Center Square) – During a news conference over the state’s red snapper harvest on Monday, Gov. Ron DeSantis dealt with a heckler who was ejected from the proceedings.

While the heckler’s comments couldn’t be understood on the audio, the second-term GOP governor said “that’s a fraud” and that the heckler should be ashamed of “peddling bogus narratives.”

The heckler was later removed from the event.

DeSantis announced that Florida’s Gulf of America red snapper season of 126 days will be the longest since the state started managing the fishery. He said the season will open on Memorial Day weekend May 24-26, pause for a few days and reopen on June 1 running through July 31.

The season will resume on Sept. 1-14 and also have open times for Veteran’s Day weekend, three days at Thanksgiving and at Christmas. 

Last year’s season was 104 days.

“We know that folks from all over the Northwest Florida love to do the red snapper. We also know that the local economy loves it as well,” DeSantis said. “Given recreational fishing for golf red snapper has been a tradition here, going back to the 1840s and probably even before then.

“So we can enjoy this historic season thanks to the great work of FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission) and the state Reef Fish Survey, which gathers data directly from anglers and helps us better manage the health and stock of the species, while today’s announcement is welcome for our Gulf communities, we have more work to do in the Atlantic.”

Under federal management, the season is only two days for Atlantic red snapper after last year’s “season” lasted only a single day.

DeSantis said he is in discussions with President Donald Trump’s administration to get the Sunshine State to manage that fishery as well sometime this year, something that is also sought by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for the Peach State’s coastal waters as well. 

“We will do a good job,” DeSantis said. “We will have accurate data, and we will be able to expand a lot of opportunities for a lot of people to be able to do this. And this is really keeping with, I think, the president’s vision to empower the states and make sure the federal government isn’t overstepping its bounds. So we stand ready, willing and able to get that job done.”

DeSantis also urged lawmakers, working on the state budget as the legislative session is set to end on Friday, to renew sales tax holidays for summer that includes fishing and other recreational supplies, even concert tickets.

Note: The following A.I. based commentary is not part of the original article, reproduced above, but is offered in the hopes that it will promote greater media literacy and critical thinking, by making any potential bias more visible to the reader –Staff Editor.

Political Bias Rating: Center-Right

This content presents a generally favorable view of Ron DeSantis, a prominent Republican governor, highlighting his actions to extend fishing seasons and gain more local control over fisheries, aligning with conservative values like states’ rights and economic growth. The tone is supportive without extreme partisan language, focusing on policy details rather than rhetoric, which places it in a center-right lean rather than far-right or highly ideological content.
