A man later identified as Dominic Santana, 61, wearing a black-and-white striped prison outfit, jumped in front of Donald Trump’s motorcade as he left the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. federal courthouse in Miami, Florida, following his arraignment on federal charges Tuesday afternoon.
The man was holding a sign that read “LOCK HIM UP” and jumped in front of Secret Service vehicles trying to make their way through the crowd in the area.

Secret Service members immediately grabbed the man and led him to the sidewalk, where he was detained.
“On both occasions, the individual was removed swiftly from the roadway by Miami police,” Secret Service Special Agent Steve Kopek, who was traveling with the Trump detail today in Miami, told Newsweek via text. “His actions had no impact on the security of the protective movement, and we thank the MPD (Miami Police Department) for their partnership.”
“You do not rush the motorcade,” attorney Bradley Moss tweeted. “That guy wanted to be arrested.”
Mr. Moss is correct. I was involved with several national campaigns as a police officer in Orlando. Rushing a presidential motorcade will get you arrested. Provided you don’t get waffled by a Secret Service Tahoe first.
The scene outside the courthouse was a circus. The Department of Homeland Security anticipated between 5,000 and 50,000 people but stated they didn’t get anywhere near either number. There were fights between pro and anti-Trump groups and between Trump and Ron DeSantis supporters, who is seen as Trump’s strongest challenger.

Trump supporters harassed Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, a Republican, upon his arrival at the courthouse. Suarez, debating his presidential candidacy, seemed to support Trump against the charges by referring to the allegations cited within the indictment as “un-American.”

Trump was arrested and arraigned Tuesday in connection with last week’s 37-count indictment resulting from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents. The charges included 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information.
