MIAMI (AP) — Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by federal authorities Saturday in Miami, according to the U.S. 
Marshals Service. 
The charges against the pair were not immediately announced. 
Brady McCarron, a spokesperson for the Marshals Service, said the warrant was sealed.
