Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) said Saturday he was assaulted by an individual after being threatened with deportation.

Police in Park City, Utah, said Christian Joel Young, 28, snuck into a private event at the Sundance Film Festival, where witnesses report that he approached Frost and a friend. Authorities say Young allegedly said, “We are going to deport you and your kind” while hugging them, prompting the two to push Young away, according to FOX 13.
