A Chinese woman was arrested after infiltrating Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and refusing to leave.

Jing Lu, 56, was spotted by security guards in the Mar-a-Lago resort yesterday and asked to leave, but she later returned to take photos, said Michael Ogrodnick, Palm police spokesman Beach, Florida, USA, said.

Police later arrested Lu on charges of prowling, stalking and detaining her in Palm Beach Prison. Ogrodnick adds that Lu holds an expired passport. When she was arrested, US President Donald Trump and his family were not at the resort.

This is the second Chinese woman arrested for illegally entering Trump's resort. In March, a Shanghai businesswoman named Zhang Yujing, 33, tried to break into the resort while Trump was there.

Ms. Zhang was arrested by the US Secret Service when carrying two Chinese passports, four mobile phones, a laptop computer, a mobile hard drive and a USB "containing malware", prompting officials suspect she is a spy.

The woman said she went to Mar-a-Lago at the request of a Chinese friend to attend the event and tried to talk to a member of the President's family about US-China economic relations, though before that. She said she was a member of the resort.

Zhang was charged with perjury to the authorities and intentionally entered the restricted area. She received 8 months in prison, completed her sentence but is being held in the US for deportation.

In November 2018, a student from the University of Wisconsin, USA, was arrested as she mixed into a group of visitors to Mar-a-Lago. This person pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence.

Donald Trump owns the luxury Mar-a-Lago resort on the Atlantic. Trump also often comes here on weekends to play golf and meet friends.

Trump is campaigning in Michigan. His family is expected to go to Mar-a-Lago on the weekends and spend Christmas time here.
