Ron DeSantis signed a law giving Florida officials the power to label groups as terrorist organizations and take actions against them.

The measure allows designated groups to lose state funding and be dissolved, and requires universities to report certain students to federal immigration authorities.

Supporters say it is meant to protect public resources and safety.

Critics argue the law’s broad language could restrict free speech and affect students who protest or express certain views, NBC News has reported.

A free speech group warned the policy could have wide-reaching effects on education across the state.
