Car drives into immigration protesters outside GOP lawmaker's office

A car drove into a group of immigration protesters outside of Rep. Ed Royce's (R-Calif.) office 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles on Thursday.

The alleged driver, Daniel Wenzek, 56, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, according to The Los Angeles Times. He was booked and released pending further investigation.

The car moved forward as protesters put their hands on the vehicle before it sped up, causing one protester to land on the car's hood. Police stopped the car shortly thereafter.

Royce's spokesman Steven Smith told the Times that the congressman was on a flight to California from Washington at the time of the incident.
