Angie Nixon’s Latino outreach Instagram page suspended during Florida get-out-the-vote rally

The Florida Senate candidate says the account was critical to reaching Latino voters during the final stretch of the election.

Florida state representative and U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon is demanding answers from Meta after her campaign’s Spanish-language Instagram page was suspended during a get-out-the-vote rally in Kissimmee, raising fresh questions about the reliability of social media platforms for political outreach just days before Election Day.

Nixon said the account, @LatinosConAngie, disappeared while her team was sharing updates from an event in Osceola County, which has a sizable Puerto Rican community. In a post on X on Tuesday, October 27, she called on Meta to restore the page and explain why it had been taken down.

The account was designed to help Nixon’s campaign communicate with Latino voters, making its suspension particularly disruptive during the final stretch of the election. Nixon said every minute mattered with just seven days remaining before voters head to the polls.

A screenshot of her post was shared by PoliAlert, a political news and monitoring account on Instagram, bringing wider attention to the dispute.

The notice Nixon shared reportedly said the account, or activity associated with it, violated Instagram’s rules on “account integrity.” The message gave the account holder until April 2027 to appeal the decision.

However, the suspension did not appear to be permanent. Newsweek reported on October 28 that the page was back online by Wednesday morning. The publication said it had contacted Nixon’s campaign and Meta for comment, but had not received responses at the time of its report. The circumstances behind the suspension, and whether Meta provided an explanation to the campaign, remained unclear in that reporting.

Nixon’s public demand for an explanation came as her campaign was working to reach voters through a rally titled “Boricuas for Angie” in Kissimmee. The event featured New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Rep. Nydia Velázquez and Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost, according to Newsweek.

The incident follows Meta’s temporary suspension of the No Kings Coalition’s Instagram account during a nationwide early-voting mobilization on October 17. Meta acknowledged that suspension was made in error and attributed it to automated security systems that misinterpreted a surge in activity as possible bot traffic.

The episode prompted a broader response from state officials. On October 26, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that he had joined a coalition of 14 attorneys general seeking answers from Meta about the No Kings suspension and what safeguards the company has in place to protect legitimate election-related activity.

The coalition asked Meta to explain how it handled the incident and what it would do to prevent similar disruptions during the election period.
