Jennifer Harrison, the leader of the anti-immigrant extremist group AZ Patriots, has been arrested. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Harrison might best be known as one of the people that #greenshirtguy @Alex_Kack was laughing at in this viral video in August.
@Alex_Kack But beyond that, for the past two years or so, Harrison has helped lead a festering anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim movement in Arizona. She's also at times embraced symbols used by white nationalists.
@Alex_Kack Harrison used to be part of the similarly named Patriot Movement AZ but split off in February to start her own group.

Last year, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey was caught mugging with PMAZ at a Republican event. He was later pressured into denouncing the group.
@Alex_Kack Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward also posed for pictures with Patriot Movement AZ at the same event but never denounced the group.
@Alex_Kack Jennifer Harrison is the fourth person with ties to Patriot Movement AZ to be arrested in the past two years.
@Alex_Kack In March 2018, Tahnee Gonzales and Elizabeth Dauenhauer, who had participated in Patriot Movement AZ events, were arrested for an incident at an Arizona mosque. They livestreamed their actions on Facebook. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…
@Alex_Kack In November 2018, a leader of the group, Russell "RJ" Jaffe, was arrested on suspicion of assault outside a "free speech" rally in Tucson. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…
@Alex_Kack Harrison's arrest, for what it's worth, appears unrelated to her extremist activities at this point. According to this @azcentral report, Harrison is suspected of taking "the identity of another by accessing an elderly victim's hotel points." azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
After her release from jail yesterday, Jennifer Harrison warned on Facebook: "People seem to forget who they're fucking with."

She also said she's the victim of a "witch-hunt" and compared herself to President Trump.
The man with Harrison in the photo is Michael Pavlock, aka "Mikey Lee." He is one of her followers in AZ Patriots and the two appear to have struck up a romance in recent months amid her separation from her husband.
