PALMDALE - The first official protest of the Antelope Valley Independent Minutemen ended Saturday with the arrest of their leader, Frank Jorge.
More than a dozen protesters gathered near Four Points on Fort Tejon Road.
The group waved American flags and played patriotic anthems over a set of loudspeakers attached to a pickup truck. The signs they waved along with their flags bore slogans including "1 flag, 1 language, 1 people ," "Get all illegals out of the AV" and "Think you're privileged? Get back in line!!!"
A more permanent set of signs towered above the protesters and their vehicles with a message from the Sheriff's Department - "No Parking, No Peddling."
Across the street, a similar number of men, mostly of Hispanic origin, stood in the shade of a street sign wearing baseball hats and jeans - and steadfastly ignored the Minutemen. The men, in work clothes, were likely looking for work as day laborers.
Before the protest had finished its first hour, the confrontation got physical, said Carol Debear, a member of the Minuteman.
Debear said an "older Hispanic lady" left her car in the traffic lanes of Avenue T and confronted the group.
"She got out of her car and assaulted Frank Jorge first - hit him in the head with her hand," Debear said, adding that other members of the group immediately called authorities.
"She was out of control," Debear said. "One of the guys that was with us … twice pulled her out of the way of passing cars."
The woman said that she was coming from Riverside and got stuck in the heavy traffic caused by the demonstration.
The confrontation continued for nearly an hour before deputies arrived, Debear said.
"It was pretty intense," she said. "We thought it was really going to escalate."

"He was booked into the Lancaster jail, according to law enforcement authorities, and was expected to make bail shortly before press time.
"He is accused of kicking Halabi's car door during the incident. (Debear said the kick was a defensive move when Halabi tried to hit him with the car.) Property damage of more than $400 constitutes a felony, an official said.
Impressive response time.
Dang, I thought this thread was about you.
May have been working on a big case . . .http://www.digitalfog.com/wp-content/images/cops_nightmare.jpg
Huh? I can understand if the council views illegal immigration as being outside of their responsibilities, but they can't discuss it for legal issues? Strange choice of excuses.
The illegal invasion continues. Like Mayland, the enemy is already entrenched in many places.
The violence escalates as they become increasingly desparate to maintain the billion dollar slave labor, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and kidnapping business that is part and parcel in illegal immigration. Illegals (or their supporters) who think they can assault US citizens, take over government offices, fly the Mexican flag, etc., only hasten the day when US citizens will begin their own violent escalation.
US citizens are patient and kind, but when pushed we obviously are quite dangerous. Any student of history cannot avoid that conclusion.
Clearly the woman started this whole thing but leave it to a prejudiced cop to arrest a man every time!These are(PC)arrests when they do that.
It's always about race with them, they do not care that they are breaking the law.
That there's funny.
'fraid so.
