A federal grand jury has indicted three women accused of following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent to his home and posting his address on Instagram.

The Justice Department announced Friday that Cynthia Raygoza, 37, Ashleigh Brown, 38, and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, were charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent.

According to investigators, the incident occurred on August 28 after the women encountered the agent at the Civic Center in Downtown Los Angeles.

Prosecutors said they began livestreaming on Instagram accounts including “ice_out_of_la,” “defendmesoamericanculture,” and “corn_maiden_design.”

As the agent drove home, the women allegedly followed him in a black sedan driven by Raygoza.

When he arrived at his residence, the women began shouting to neighbors and livestream viewers, identifying him as an ICE officer.

“Your neighbor is ICE,” one of them said.

Others shouted “la migra lives here” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.”

They concluded by announcing the agent’s address and encouraging viewers to “come on down.”

The footage was later deleted from the Instagram accounts.

Brown and Samane were arrested earlier on federal complaints. Brown is being held without bond, in part because she faces a separate charge for assault on a federal officer.

Samane was released on $5,000 bond. Raygoza remains at large.

Acting U.S. Attorney for Southern California Bill Essayli condemned the incident. “Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe,” he said.

“The conduct of these defendants are 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.”

The indictment follows a string of recent attacks against ICE.

Just days earlier, a gunman killed one and critically injured two others at an immigration facility in Dallas, Texas.

Anti-ICE activists also disrupted court proceedings in Los Angeles when the charges were first announced.

The arrests come as California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new law banning law enforcement officers from wearing masks while on duty.

The measure, introduced in response to ICE officers wearing face coverings during Los Angeles immigration raids, is the first of its kind in the nation.

Law enforcement groups have strongly opposed the ban, saying it exposes federal agents to retaliation.

Tricia McLaughlin, Homeland Security’s assistant secretary for public affairs, called the law “despicable and a flagrant attempt to endanger our officers.”

She added that Newsom’s rhetoric had contributed to “a 1,000 percent increase in attacks on federal agents” and accused him of acting as a “sanctuary politician” who placed officers at risk of being “doxxed and targeted by known and suspected terrorist sympathizers.”

Essayli also criticized the measure, stating on X that California has no authority to regulate federal law enforcement.

“If Newsom wants to regulate our agents, he must go through Congress,” he wrote.

The State of California has no jurisdiction over the federal government. If Newsom wants to regulate our agents, he must go through Congress.

The California State Sheriff’s Association, the Peace Officers Research Association of California, and the California Police Chiefs Association have all voiced opposition, calling the law reckless and dangerous.

They argue that protecting the identities of agents is critical for their safety and that of their families, especially in light of increased harassment both online and in public.

President Donald Trump also weighed in, urging Democrats to stop what he described as inflammatory rhetoric against ICE.

“The Brave Men and Women of ICE are just trying to do their jobs, and remove the ‘WORST of the WORST’ Criminals out of our Country, but they are facing an unprecedented increase in threats, violence, and attacks by Deranged Radical Leftists,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“This violence is the result of the Radical Left Democrats constantly demonizing Law Enforcement, calling for ICE to be demolished, and comparing ICE Officers to ‘Nazis,’” he continued.

“I AM CALLING ON ALL DEMOCRATS TO STOP THIS RHETORIC AGAINST ICE AND AMERICA’S LAW ENFORCEMENT, RIGHT NOW!”

Trump reaffirmed that his administration remains committed to its pledge to secure the nation’s borders and support law enforcement officers carrying out that mission.
