Arrests of UF Students Under New Florida Trespass Law
Law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in May, effective May 16, targeting anti-Trump protesters and crowd control.
Law bans entering secured areas at events over 5,000 attendees, classifying crossing police lines as felony with up to 5 years and $5k fine.
Two UF students banned for 3 years, two others got 3-year campus bans, 54 ejected, 26 arrested.
Cirafesi and Schmidt pleaded not guilty.
Lawmakers say intent was not to target fans, but civil rights groups warn of selective enforcement. Lawyer Bennett Hutson predicts no felony records.
