DeSantis says Tate brothers are not welcome in Florida
- Andrew and Tristan Tate's flight to Florida was approved by Romanian prosecutors, lifting travel restrictions.
- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis emphasized the state's zero tolerance for human trafficking.
- The Tates are still facing legal charges and are expected to return to Romania for court appearances.
The Tate brothers arrived in Florida after Romanian prosecutors approved their travel request, lifting court restrictions that had previously prohibited them from leaving Romania while awaiting trial. Upon landing in Fort Lauderdale, Andrew Tate expressed belief in their innocence, stating they had not been convicted of any crimes. However, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, stated that the state does not welcome individuals with allegations of human trafficking and violence against women. The brothers are still facing serious legal issues, including charges of human trafficking and sexual assault that are ongoing in both Romania and the UK. There has been significant backlash against the U.S. government's role in allowing the brothers' travel, with critics arguing that this undermines justice for their alleged victims. Legal representatives of women accusing the Tates have voiced strong disapproval, calling the situation a betrayal of victims and expressing concern over the implications of allowing the brothers to operate in the U.S. while facing serious allegations in their home country.
