   A grinning anti-ICE agitator was arrested after she allegedly punched a   
   Florida state trooper during a confrontation with federal agents —   
   drawing a blunt warning from Gov. Ron DeSantis that the Sunshine State   
   “is not Minneapolis.”   
      
   Jennifer Cruz was arrested outside Mi Pueblo, a Mexican grocery store   
   and meat market in Jacksonville, Tuesday morning after she allegedly   
   jumped out of her car and punched a state trooper in the face while   
   officers were working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents,   
   Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a post on X.   
      
   “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,” Uthmeier wrote.   
      
   “But unlike Minnesota, we don’t put up with this nonsense. Not today,   
   Jennifer.”   
      
   Video taken by Mi Pueblo owner Juan Alvarez shows law enforcement   
   officers swarming Cruz on the pavement and placing her in handcuffs.   
      
   “ICE agents showed up with the state trooper. They detained a driver —   
   the person was driving — and they had an operation going on,” Alvarez   
   told News 4 Jax.   
      
   “After that, they detained another person, and it seems they got into an   
   altercation with that person.   
      
   “It turned violent, and that led to the presence of a lot more police   
   and federal enforcement showing up,” he added.   
      
   Another shocking video shared on X appeared to show Cruz kicking and   
   screaming as officers struggled to get her into a squad car, laughing   
   and taunting police and calling one officer a “weak-ass motherf–ker.”   
      
   Footage shows her lying in the back seat before suddenly popping up and   
   kicking the officer who was trying to restrain her.   
      
   “Don’t you dare start kicking me!” one officer is heard warning her.   
      
   Cruz was then tased as officers finally got her fully inside the car and   
   slammed the door shut. However, her rampage didn’t stop there — with the   
   footage showing her kicking the cruiser’s roof and the camera that was   
   pointing into the backseat.   
      
   The 40-year-old was booked into the Duval County Jail on a slew of   
   charges, including multiple counts of battery on a law enforcement   
   officer, resisting officers with violence and threatening harm to   
   officers, among others.   
      
   She was released on bond following her arrest and is scheduled to appear   
   in court on Feb. 4.   
      
   Gov. Ron DeSantis weighed in on the arrest Thursday during a   
   health-related news conference in Jacksonville, warning others   
   considering interference with federal immigration operations to think   
   twice — while also taking a jab at Minneapolis amid ongoing tensions   
   following the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent.   
      
   “This is not Minneapolis. This is not going to end well for you in   
   Florida,” DeSantis vowed.   
      
   “You have a right to go out there and criticize government policy. You   
   can go out there and protest within respected zones, but the idea that   
   you’re going to assault one of our troopers is unacceptable, and you are   
   going to face consequences as a result of that.”
