After the pair arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made it clear the influencer brothers are not welcome in his state and that his administration is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the pair — sparking pushback from supporters of the Tates.

An attorney for the brothers said they are citizens of the United States and part of an ongoing defamation case in a Florida court.

On Thursday, an attorney for the brothers implied that Trump helped lift the travel restrictions on them. "I don't know how it came to this," DeSantis told the press. "We were not notified."
