While tensions between demonstrators and immigration police haven’t reached the level of those in Minneapolis yet, Floridians continue to confront police.
Multiple sources report that 23-year-old Alexis Brianna Clark was arrested Friday, charged with blocking the path of a Chevrolet Impala believed to be a federal law enforcement vehicle outside the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations facility in Orlando.
Clark allegedly struck the mirror and the door on the car’s passenger side.
She is being held on $1,000 bond for allegedly assaulting a law enforcement officer and resisting a law enforcement officer without violence.
“Earlier today, in an otherwise exclusively peaceful protest at a federal facility on Delegates Drive, one person was arrested after striking the vehicle of a federal agent,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office told WESH.
This is the latest example of a protester being arrested after allegedly impeding law enforcement operations.
In Jacksonville earlier this month, Jennifer Cruz was arrested for confronting law enforcement at a strip mall on the Southside, after it was revealed she was driving with a suspended license. Her vehicle was impounded, and she allegedly attacked law enforcement before being taken into custody.
Unlike Clark, Cruz faces federal charges.
