(MIAMI, FL) -- Miami police say they made one arrest during the peaceful rally in front of the Miami Federal Courthouse Tuesday.

Many criticized the security set up by Miami Police as lax, but it appears to be effective. Yellow barricade tape was roped around the courthouse and police bikes were also used to keep the mostly pro-Trump crowds at bay. In one instance, Miami Police bike patrol officers protected a lone protester who was in favor of locking up the former president after he was surrounded by Trump supporters. No one was injured, according to Miami Police. Then as the ex-president's motorcade departed the courthouse, the same protester ran in front of Trump's vehicle with a sign and was immediately arrested by Miami police. The individual known as Domenic Santana, was already dressed as a prisoner wearing a black and white striped jump suit with a number on the back. Now he is wearing handcuffs as well.

Also, Miami police assisted Homeland Security to investigate a suspicious object that turned out to be an inert television with a sign condemning the national media near the federal courthouse.

Trump, who turns 77 on Wednesday, has plead not guilty to 37 counts related to allegedly mishandling top secret documents.
