Lawyer Caryma Sa'd said she is the person who was arrested at the airport. She said she had a printed RSVP with her for the Ford event.
"I was not part of any protest group," Sa'd said in an interview. "I made that clear to everyone I spoke with, that I was attending the rally simply to document in my capacity as an interested resident of Ontario."
Police and Sa'd agree that she was moved off the property and released with a ticket for trespass to property. She said she intends to fight the ticket in court.
When reached for comment Ford spokeswoman Ivana Yelich referred questions to the Hamilton Police Service.
