MIAMI (WSVN) - Protesters interrupted an induction ceremony honoring South Florida leaders.
“You are a Democrat, shame on you. You should know better,” said one protestor.
The demonstrators, some holding “Cease Fire Now” signs, were escorted out of Miami-Dade Commission Chambers on Tuesday, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and accusing county officials of funding genocide.
The ceremony was to honor inductees for the Miami-Dade Women’s Hall of Fame.
The honorees were State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, Representative Frederica Wilson, and former Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and were honored for their work to improve Miami-Dade County.
Miami-Dade Police arrested some of the protesters.
