A Florida woman was promptly manhandled after she punched a trooper in the face during an immigration enforcement operation earlier this week.
Police cam footage shows the moment the female anti-ICE agitator, identified as Jennifer Cruz, tried to kick a female police officer after she punched a trooper in the face.
Cruz was immediately thrown on the hood of the police car and cuffed.
Jennifer Cruz continued to kick law enforcement officers after she was placed in the back of the police cruiser.
“This is Jennifer Cruz of Jacksonville. Jennifer disagrees with immigration enforcement and decided to commit a few felonies by getting out of her car and punching a Trooper in the face,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said on X.
“But unlike Minnesota, we don’t put up with this nonsense. Not today, Jennifer,” Uthmeier said.
“Don’t interfere with law enforcement, punch cops, or resist arrest in Florida,” he said. “Don’t be like Jennifer.”

According to News4JAX, Cruz attacked law enforcement during an immigration operation near the Mi Pueblo grocery store.
“ICE agents showed up with the state trooper. They detained the driver,” a local grocery store owner told News4Jax.
“And so yeah, they had an operation going on, and after that, they had detained another person. But it seems they got into an altercation with that person. It turned violent,” he said.
Governor DeSantis taunted Cruz and said ‘This is not Minneapolis.’
“I do know there was a woman who came out and assaulted one of our troopers. Let me just tell you guys, this is not Minneapolis,” Governor Ron DeSantis said of the incident.

Should’ve cuffed her legs too.

BRILLIANT!!!
Any direct link to the video?
She sounds nice 🙂🙂🙂
Now I suppose that if the agent punched the “agitator” in the face in defense it would be considered “police brutality” by some money hungry lawyer, and groups of idiots would riot.
Manhandled? I don’t think so.
She was gently and lovingly restrained.
She had every bit of it coming, plus some.
The left is advocating for increased violence to the point of murder against ICE and LEOs.
If they’re going to dish it out, they’d better be able to take it in spades.
And NO sympathy for them from me.
Exactly.
If it weren’t for double standards, the left wouldn’t have any at all.
Smug smile on the beaotchs face until it was planted on the car hood. Love it! I imagine she will get about 3-6 months to dwell on it.
I’m of the opinion that if some idiot wants to assault a cop, fireman, or paramedic that it should be open season on him or her to have immediate street justice performed on them. It should be an minimum of 10 years in prison, then 10 years of parole along with about 10 years worth of community service. If it’s a federal officer double those numbers.
If an idiot wants to try and kill or kills any law enforcement officer, fireman, or paramedic they should be hunted down immediately and terminated with extreme prejudice.
Right. The rhetoric coming from the leaf:
“Ice is creating chaos in our communities”.
Uh, Isn’t it a portion of your “community” who are probably mostly here illegally the ones who are violently attacking officers of the law and damaging federal, public and private property? You mean the presence of law officers are causing your “residents” to lose their minds, and they have no control over themselves?
Arrest them all.
Leaf not. LEFT! I hate when I do that.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.
She appears to be happy to be doing it as well. Fidiots!
Why should these three groups get special treatment? Anyone who assaults or batters anyone else should receive a commensurate beat down.
Because those three occupations put protecting the public before their own welfare. Assaulting them is particularly heinous and should be met with instant, severe, and profound retribution.

Laz?
Her mugshot shows no injury from faceplanting. They went easy on her. I think they knew she was high or retarded.
It wasn’t just a smug smile……it was a euphoric smile. I think some of these women want men to rough them up. The uniforms and masks are driving them crazy.
