Shortly after President Barack Obama gave a speech announcing executive action on immigration on Thursday night, Secret Service agents arrested a woman carrying a gun outside the White House.
Michigan resident April Lenhart, 23, was protesting at the White House’s north fence when agents noticed a gun in a holster on her hip, an agency spokesman told USA Today. Lenhart was charged with possessing an unregistered firearm and carrying a pistol without a license, the spokesman said.
It’s the second such arrest in as many days. Secret Service agents arrested an Iowa man who approached them carrying a .30-30 rifle and ammunition on Wednesday.
