The US Secret Service arrested a female abortion activist in Los Angeles Wednesday for nearly disrupting President Joe Biden’s motorcade.
The Daily Caller reports that the woman, who is not identified in reports, started screaming into a megaphone and got very close to the vehicles as the motorcade moved through town.
US Secret Service communications chief Anthony Guglielmi said agents have arrested the woman and are investigating the incident, the Washington Times reported.
“Shortly after 5 p.m., an adult woman entered a restricted lane along a motorcade route at Chick Hearn Ct in Los Angeles,” Guglielmi said. “As the woman approached passing vehicles, a US Secret Service agent quickly pulled her off the road and placed her in custody. There was no impact on the motorcade movement or our security guards. Our investigation into this incident is still ongoing.”
A video of the incident shows the woman walking across the street to the motorcade as it drives by. She can be heard screaming into a megaphone as she approaches the passing vehicles.

A Secret Service officer comes running and grabs the woman to escort her to the sidewalk, but she resists. Close to the sidewalk, the woman appears to be waving her megaphone at the cop before they both fall to the ground. The woman fights, kicking and pushing off his hat as he holds her.
“Get the f- off me!” the woman yells several times as she continues to resist arrest.
Later, she yells, “An abortion ban won’t stop abortions, only safe ones,” as a cop handcuffs her.
Biden is pro-abortion, so it’s unclear why she chose to target his motorcade.
According to the Daily Caller, Biden visited Los Angeles on Wednesday for the international Summit of the Americas with other world leaders.
Authorities have warned of escalating violence from abortion activists since a leaked draft ruling showing a US Supreme Court majority overthrew Roe v. Wade this summer.
Since the leak in early May, three pro-life organizations have been targeted by arson, and dozens more have been vandalized.
On Wednesday morning, police arrested an armed California man near Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s home after he allegedly threatened to kill the judge.
A few weeks ago, the pro-abortion group Ruth Sent Us responded to the leak by making the addresses of conservative judges’ homes public online, prompting authorities to increase security for Supreme Court members and their staff. Days later, Judge Samuel Alito, the author of the draft opinion, and his family were moved from their home to a safe location due to violent threats.
