Andrew Tate increased fame with a message of forceful masculinity that placed men as legitimate dominant over women. From its basis in Romania, he promised to help guide men through « the matrix », their conspiracy term for a world that says it demonizes men unfairly, and who called the criminal accusations against him evidence of persecution.
Now, the Sudden arrival Mr. Tate and his brother Tristan Tate in Florida have alarmed the rights groups of women and women who say they have been victims of the brothers.
Questions about whether North -American officials intervened to help the tatas have only added to the concern that their ideology will prosper, even when they face separate research in Romania and Britain.
Here’s what to know about the response to your arrival in the country.
The accusers called the movement a « slap on the face. »
« He felt his power knows no limit, » said Dani Pinter, a lawyer representing a north -American woman who has accused the Tate brothers of attracting it to Romania to explode.
The client, who has sued the brothers in a Florida court, was « landed and shocked » who had come to the state, said Mrs. Pinter, a senior vice president of the National Center for Sexual Exploitation.
After her arrival, Ms. Pinter called « a slap on the face of all the victims of the Tate brothers, especially the victim of the United States who is not protected by his country. »
The brothers had been held in Romania since 2022, first by accusations that romance to women with the intention of forming a criminal group to exploit -for financial gains, and then above Loads of sexual crime of the British authorities.
They have denied any crime and have sued one of Ms. clients. Pinter for slander. « We have not yet been convicted of any crime in our lives, » said Mr. Andrew Tate after landing in Florida on Thursday.
Some want them to extradite them to Britain.
Four British women who sued Andrew Tate in Britain say that they had violated and abused them urged by the British government on Friday to immediately request the extradition of the brothers in the United States. British authorities have sought their arrest by separate criminal accusations of rape and human trafficking.
If the Government does not request extradition, « it will not be only us, they will not be failed, but all the British victims of alleged sexual violence, » women said in a statement. A spokesman for the British Home Office, who oversees police and crime policy, refused to say if any extradition application had been made or received.
« I am worried that he see his next growing and more of his followers feel that they will be invincible, » said Christian F. Nunes, the President of the National Women’s Organization. He said that officials and others must respond to being « vocal defenders » of women and girls.
Joseph McBride, a lawyer for the brothers, said on Saturday that the British government « has » for Andrew Tate, but said that the complaints of the demands were not extraditable crimes. Asked if he thought the brothers could still face extradition, he said « maybe. »
« Will they stop living their lives due to the threat of another government trying to cancel them? Absolutely not, « he said. « If the United Kingdom extrades them, we will go in. »
He added that the Tate brothers have not been convicted of a crime anywhere.
Conservatives were divided on their arrival in the United States.
The brothers, who have supported President Trump, have previously found support their associateseven The president’s eldest sonDonald Trump Jr. The Tampa Bay Young Republicans called the brothers « Absolutists of the Free Expression » and welcomed them to the State.
But Governor Ron Desantis, a Republican, said that the tatas were not welcome in Florida and that the State Attorney General, James Uthmeier, also a Republican, said that his office would conduct a « preliminary research » to the brothers. « Florida has a zero tolerance for people’s traffic and violence against women, » Uthmeier said Thursday.
McBride said that the Tate brothers would provide financial support to the opposition of Mr. Desantis in his next campaign for the governor. « What Ron Disantis did in Florida is a riot, » he said.
Romanian officials have denied any intervention by North -Americans in the case.
Asked if North -American officials intervened on behalf of the brothers, Mr. McBride refused to comment.
However, links to the administration left the women’s rights groups worried that the brothers and their opinions were strengthened in an environment where the administration has Diversity, equity and inclusion programs directed and protections against gender discrimination.
The Tate brothers, like Mr. Trump, have taken advantage of the genuine suffering experienced by men and boys as they fight with loneliness, suicide, drugs, and the feeling that their identities as men have been demonized, said Cynthia Miller-Irriss, the founding director of the Polarization laboratory and extremism and innovation At the American University of Washington.
The brothers have sold access to an online community and courses that promised to teach men how to do it Use women to build wealth.
They offer the narrative, said Dr. Miller-Idriss, who « can return to the top; all you have to do is dominate women. »
« To some extent, many boys and men feel that things say that no one else will say, » he said, « and the Maga campaign and Trump’s campaign has done the same. »
They still face research.
What happens now that the brothers are in the United States is still unclear.
The Romanian prosecutors did not name the brothers, but said that two North -American British citizens who had been authorized to leave Romania should still be presented to a court there. Although an indictment against them was withdrawn in Romania, investigations into allegations of sexual traffic are still active.
Mr. McBride, the brothers’ lawyer, said that the brothers would travel back and forth between the United States and Romania until the case was resolved. They have a court date this month, he said, and the brothers also have to do the physical session with the authorities every 90 days.
Without an active accusation, the lifting of a trip of travel against the Tate brothers was legal, said Silvia Tabusca, a law professor at Romania-American University of Bucharest.
« If they do not return, they will face an international mandate and international actions, » he said.
But it is possible, he said, that the United States could decide to protect them, arguing that the Romania judicial system is not fair.
Vice President JD Vance criticized Romania’s democracy In a speech last month in Germany after remaining his Presidential election Results after finding signs of Russian interference.
Ms. Tabusca said, however, that the possible positions that the brothers face long prison sentences, it is likely that investigation in Romania will continue to even be absent. « They are not escaping from these charges, » he said.
