DOJ Announces New Batch Of Arrests In Crackdown On Left-Wing Terror
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the arrest Wednesday of 10 defendants accused of committing violence against law enforcement and property during anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstrations in Southern California earlier this year.
The incidents are being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), according to a DOJ statement.
“There is zero tolerance for violence against law enforcement officers,” Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in the release. “During the summer we warned the public that anyone who engages in any violence will eventually be brought to justice. Today we are delivering on that promise and will continue to hold those who violated the law accountable.”
Promises made, promises kept.
The President and @AGPamBondi made clear that we will find, arrest, and charge anyone who attacks our federal agents.

Prosecutors charged Oxnard residents Virginia Reyes, 32, and Isai Carrillo, 31, with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer. They face as much as five years behind bars if convicted. Authorities apprehended Carrillo today while Reyes was alleged to be a fugitive from the law.
In July, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents preparing to execute several search warrants discovered the operation had been compromised by social media posts, according to an affidavit. Protesters — alerted through networks monitoring DHS offices — gathered near the site, where they constructed a roadblock with farm equipment, authorities alleged.
