Three Arrested For Following ICE Agents Home, Doxxing Them
Three women from California and Colorado are facing federal charges after allegedly stalking a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent from downtown Los Angeles and following him home. The women also live-streamed the pursuit, thus revealing the agent’s home address to their social media followers, according to U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli.
“Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe,” Essayli said in a statement Friday. “The conduct of these defendants is deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox, or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time.”
Cynthia Raygoza, 35, Ashleigh Brown, 38, and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, allegedly followed an ICE agent from the Los Angeles Civic Center to his home. While doing so, the women provided details of their route so their followers could figure out how to get to the agent’s home.
The women allegedly encouraged followers to share the video far and wide.
According to the indictment, the women proceeded to shout at the agent’s neighbors as their livestream continued. They publicly disclosed the agent’s home address and told their viewers to “come on down.” They reportedly told neighbors, “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know,” Breitbart News reported.
A grand jury returned an indictment against all three women on one count of conspiracy and one count of publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent. If convicted, they each could face up to five years in federal prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Brown is also facing charges of assaulting a federal officer in connection with an unrelated incident. She remains in federal custody without bond, prosecutors stated.
Samone was released from custody after posting a $5,000 bond. Raygoza remains at large and is being sought by U.S. Marshalls and federal agents.
