Andrew Tate's arrival in Florida has triggered a legal standoff, with Governor Ron DeSantis exploring options to block the extremist influencer and alleged human trafficker from staying in the state.

Social media influencers Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate arrived in Florida Thursday after being allowed to leave Romania, more than three years after they were first detained.

Members of President Donald Trump's administration reportedly pushed officials in Romania to allow Tate and his brother to leave the country.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were allowed to leave Romania and flew on a private jet headed for Florida on Thursday morning.

Right-wing influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after leaving Romania on a private jet Thursday, according to Mateea Petrescu, the brothers’ spokesperson.

Andrew and Tristan Tate arrived in Florida on Thursday, where Donald Trump is expected to be this weekend, sparking online rumors that the brothers may visit the president there. Newsweek has contacted a representative for Andrew Tate via email for comment.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, the British American online influencers, arrived in Florida on Thursday morning after a Romanian court ruled they could leave the country, a development that raised questions about whether the Trump administration played a role in their sudden departure.

Andrew Tate has been platformed and lionized by Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump Jr. Last month, he made a joint appearance with Alina Habba, one of President Trump’s advisers, on Benny Johnson’s popular pro-Trump podcast. Habba lavished praise on Tate, and said he was in legal trouble only because, she told him, “you love what’s right.”

A Florida Republican group is facing backlash after extending a formal invitation to Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, who arrived in Florida on Thursday from Romania. The accused human traffickers were reportedly granted travel clearance following intervention from high-ranking Trump administration officials who “took an interest in their case.

Romania allowed the travel after pressure from Trump officials, a person familiar with the case said. The brothers, vocal Trump supporters, were detained in 2022.
