Tampa Police Department @TampaPD
Vdeo: Last night, on May 8, 2026, officers arrested 22 people between the ages of 12 and 21, as part of a teen takeover.
The large group of teens attempted a takeover in the area of Curtis Hixon Park, causing significant disruptions, fights, and other issues in the park and surrounding areas.
“This type of reckless and criminal behavior will not be tolerated in our city,” said Chief Lee Bercaw. “What began as a large gathering quickly escalated into disorder and activity that placed others at risk. Parents need to know where their children are and who they are with...we will continue taking strong enforcement action against anyone who threatens the peace and safety of our community."

Gregory K Bovino @GregoryKBovino - Most people hear “deport only the worst of the worst” and think, “Yeah, that sounds fair and targeted.” That’s exactly why it’s such a perfect soundbite, it feels reasonable to people who don’t fully understand what we’re really up against.
