The woman who allegedly breached two security checkpoints near President Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club on Friday is an anti-Trump supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, according to her Facebook page.

Police said the suspect, identified as Hannah Roemhild, fled a Florida Highway Patrol trooper, picked up another female passenger and plowed through the two checkpoints, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. Both were arrested.

Authorities said the location of the incident was "Mar-a-Lago main entrance."

OANN reporter Jack Posobiec posted on Twitter an image of Roemhild's Facebook page featuring posts of Sanders' "very strong" support for abortion and a photo of women with "pussy hats" at the anti-Trump Women's March in Washington. A protester is seen in the photo holding a sign saying "Not my president. Love trumps hate."

Heavy.com reported Roemhild, 30, is a resident of Connecticut, where records show she is a registered Democrat. She says on her Facebook page she's an opera singer who studied opera at Western Connecticut State University.

President Trump was in Washington at the time of the incident, but he is scheduled to be in Palm Beach this weekend.

Roemhild will be transferred to the Palm Beach County jail after officers interview her.

Over the past two weeks, Project Veritas has released undercover video exposing the radical views of paid Sanders campaign organizers. On Tuesday, video was published of a Sanders staffer admitting the campaign attracts anarchists, Marxists and other "truly radical people." He echoed other staffers highlighted by Project Veritas in his call for a "militant" peoples' movement to "strip power" from capitalists.

James T. Hodgkinson, the man who shot Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., in 2017 and four others at a baseball practice for Republican lawmakers regarded himself as a devoted supporter of Sanders who hated conservatives and President Trump.

FBI: Won't speculate on motive

Sheriff Bradshaw said the attack was not terrorist-related and the proximity to Mar-a-Lago connection likely was a coincidence.

"This is not a terrorist thing," he told reporters Friday. "I'm not so sure she knew where she was going. There was no way she was getting into the main entrance."

However, FBI Special Agent George Piro said the bureau also is investigating.

"It's very early in the process so we will not be speculating with regard to the suspect's motive," Piro said. "Upon completion of our investigation, we will potentially have additional federal charges."

Bradshaw said that along with traffic violations, Roemhild likely will be charged with assault on an officer and deadly assault on two of the sheriff's deputies.

Piro said the FBI expects to add charges of assault on a federal officer.

Milwaukee will 'burn'

The Project Veritas video released Tuesday was the fourth in its #Expose2020 series. Last week, another paid Sanders field organizer in South Carolina said he was preparing for an armed socialist revolution, praised the Soviet Union and advocated sending Republicans to "re-education camps."

Previously, Project Veritas released video of Sanders Iowa field organizer Kyle Jurek advocating Soviet-style gulags to "de-Nazify" Trump supporters and acknowledging he's among four organizers in his office who could be described as a Marxist or a communist.

Jurek said Soviet-style gulags would be a good way to carry out necessary "re-education" of Donald Trump supporters if Sanders becomes president. He also warned that if the Democratic Party doesn't nominate Sanders, the city hosting the convention this summer, Milwaukee, will "burn."
