"Federal Court Blocks Florida Law Barring Chinese Citizens from Owning Property"

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked Florida from enforcing a law that prohibits Chinese citizens from owning property in the state, stating that the individuals challenging the law are likely to prevail in their claims that it violates federal real estate purchase laws. The law, signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, also restricts citizens of other countries from owning property near certain infrastructure. The court's decision has implications for similar proposed laws in other states and has drawn criticism for targeting specific nationalities.

"Federal Appeals Court Orders Retrial for Suspended Prosecutor in First Amendment Case Against DeSantis"

A federal appeals court has sent the case of Democratic Florida prosecutor Andrew Warren, who was suspended by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, back to a trial judge to determine if his political advocacy, including statements opposing certain legislation, was protected by the First Amendment and could not be the basis for his removal. The court ruled that DeSantis must show that the suspension was based on issues with Warren’s actual performance and policies in office, not just his political advocacy. Warren hopes the ruling will lead to his return to his position as state attorney, while DeSantis's office adamantly disagrees with the ruling, contending that it sets a "dangerous precedent."
