The University of Florida deactivated its College Republicans chapter after a social media photo showed a member performing a Nazi salute and other images tied to far-right figures, and the chapter has sued the university in federal court alleging First Amendment violations.

The University of Florida deactivated the campus College Republicans chapter after the Florida Federation of College Republicans told UF it had disbanded.
A photo of a chapter member performing a Nazi salute circulated on social media alongside images of members with far-right figures Nick Fuentes and Myron Gaines.
The chapter filed a federal lawsuit Monday alleging the university violated its First Amendment rights.
Anthony Sabatini is representing the chapter and said the Nazi photo was the "final straw" after earlier targeting, including an event that hosted gubernatorial candidate James Fishback.
UF interim president Donald Landry said the university has strongly supported its Jewish community and is committed to preventing antisemitism and other forms of discrimination.
