At least three identified informants and several anonymous informants named Emily Hernandez after their image was released in a “video from ITV News, a UK-based television news network,” according to an FBI statement on Friday.

One informant sent the FBI a photo of Hernandez’s Facebook page that appeared to show it on the Capitol, and another sent the FBI a photo of Hernandez’s Snapchat that appeared to show it below the Capitol dome. Anonymous informants sent more photos of the woman holding Pelosi’s sign.
Hernandez faces five charges, including illegal entry, involvement in disorderly conduct on Capitol Hill and theft of a piece of federal property, according to a federal complaint. She was not arrested.
