A 42-year-old self-described “relationship anarchist” was arrested and accused of trailing roving federal agents in Minneapolis and ramming her vehicle into one of theirs.
Elizabeth Rose of Minneapolis appeared in U.S. District Court on Feb. 3 on a charge that she forcibly assaulted, resisted, opposed, impeded, intimidated and interfered with officers in the performance of their official duties on Jan. 21.
Rose was arrested on Jan. 30, released from custody and awaits her next court appearance, which has yet to be scheduled. The Minnesota Star Tribune has reached out to Rose and her attorney for a response to the allegations.
In response, Rose said, “Unfortunately, I am too busy to comment as I am actively navigating being doxed by the [United States] government.”
Trump administration officials have said repeatedly that they will aggressively pursue protesters in Minnesota who try to thwart agents’ actions during the immigration crackdown. There have been a steady stream of arrests and prosecutions in recent weeks.
While in the Twin Cities on Jan. 28, when 16 suspected anti-ICE protesters were charged, Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on social media, “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: NOTHING will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law.”
On Feb. 5, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, added, “Conspire and threaten to assault, kill and dox officers and you’ll find yourself in federal custody facing the full force of justice.”
About a week before her arrest, Rose posted a TikTok “official dating profile request” video saying she is a “relationship anarchist,” people who practice a nonmonogamous relational life. President Donald Trump’s official campaign Facebook account picked up on that label when he posted about Rose’s arrest.
