Federal authorities arrested an anti-ICE protester who allegedly damaged a vehicle belonging to immigration agents during a pot farm raid over the summer near Los Angeles. He should be tried and convicted.
In addition, nine other suspects were arrested for allegedly attacking law enforcement officers over the summer during immigration enforcement operations in and around Los Angeles. "I want to be very clear. Every American has a right to peacefully protest," Bill Essayli, the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said during a news conference. "What is not constitutionally protected is a right to engage in violence, or to impede federal agents by assaulting or doxing or obstructing their operations."
Among those charged were two members of VC Defensa, an organization federal prosecutors said operates and manages what they call a rapid response network to impede immigration agents, for conspiring to impede and injure federal law enforcement officers." One of the members charged in the complaint used her vehicle to block U.S. government vehicles from leaving the location, while another member and others ambushed the vehicles by throwing rocks at them.
Several government vehicles were damaged, and a federal contract employee was injured as a rock went through and objects, including objects on fire from an overpass on her vehicle window, shattering the glass and striking her, Essayli said. "The FBI arrested nine violent agitators in Los Angeles for their roles in a June protest where law enforcement officers were trapped under a bridge and attacked with Molotov cocktails," FBI Director Kash Patel said. "Violence against law enforcement will never be tolerated.
"This FBI stands shoulder to shoulder with the men and women who wear the badge—we will always defend those who defend America. Violence against law enforcement ends here," he added. Fox News was exclusively embedded with Homeland Security during the pre-dawn arrest of Isai Carrillo, who was taken down by agente-dawn raid specifically targeted two anti-ICE activists who federal authorities said played a lead role in the disturbing, viral video that shows activists bottlenecking immigration agent’s cars and then violently smashing-in their windows during a notable pot farm raid in Camarillo, Calif., over the summer.
