🚨Update from F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli: "GUILTY: A Los Angeles federal jury just returned guilty verdicts against two defendants for stalking an ICE deportation officer.Cynthia Raygoza, 38, of Riverside, and Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado, were found guilty today of stalking.On August 28, 2025, Raygoza and Brown followed the victim from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his home.The defendants livestreamed their pursuit on their Instagram accounts, provided directions as they followed the victim home, and encouraged viewers to share the livestream.Upon arriving at the victim’s residence, the defendants shouted to bystanders while livestreaming that their “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.” They also shouted racial slurs at the victim’s wife. The victim’s children witnessed the incident.Raygoza and Brown each face up to five years in federal prison at their June 8 sentencing hearing.We thank the jury for bringing justice to these agitators who violated the law and endangered the safety of this federal officer and his family.Peaceful protests are protected by the Constitution, political violence and unlawful intimidation are not."
