MIAMI (NewsNation) — Truck drivers have called for boycotts against Florida's new penalties and restrictions on undocumented immigrants in the state that require employers to verify if workers are authorized to work in the U.S.
Across social media platforms, Latino truck drivers are now threatening to stop delivering to and from Florida and are calling on migrants to stand down from work for up to a week.
Drivers posted videos on TikTok with messages like "don't enter Florida," and encouraging others to follow their lead, which has led to a thread of truck drivers saying they were not driving through the state.
Drivers have said they plan to boycott Florida by not driving in the state beginning as early as next month. The hashtags #noFlorida and #boycottFlorida are spreading.
