Viral Minneapolis anti-ICE agitator Elizabeth Rose has been arrested and charged with assaulting federal agents after she allegedly rammed an agent’s vehicle with her own.
Rose, 42, who proudly identifies as a “relationship anarchist” practicing nonmonogamous relationships, allegedly tailed and crashed her vehicle into a car occupied by Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection agents on January 21.
The activist went viral last month for a video about her dating desires.
“I am 42… I am a relationship anarchist… I am on the lookout for somebody who right now will be able to call and say hey, get in the passenger seat and let’s go f*k some sh-t up,” she says in the video.
She is seen getting dressed in Carhartt overalls, a keffiyeh scarf, safety goggles, a gas mask, and ear protection, framing her activism as a call to arms against what she described as ICE “occupying” Minneapolis by “going door-to-door and kidnapping people from their homes… schools… churches.”
The incident occurred amid “Operation Metro Surge,” the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants in the Twin Cities.
According to court documents, agitators in multiple vehicles began following a team of federal agents. Rose reportedly blocked their path on a narrow street, ignored commands to move, and then reversed her car into another agent-occupied vehicle that had arrived to assist.
A video of the incident was posted on social media by Rose. It does not show the impact but shows her reversing into the vehicle and touching it when she stops.
