Florida State Police Raid Home of DeSantis Critic

Armed officers with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement served a search warrant Monday morning at the home of a fired state coronavirus data scientist who has said Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to downplay the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rebekah Jones, who helped create the COVID dashboard for the state Department of Health, posted a video on Twitter of officers holding what appear to be drawn firearms inside her Tallahassee residence, where she lives with her husband and two children. She said officers seized a phone and computer she uses to post coronavirus case numbers.
