3 Activists Indicted in Los Angeles for Allegedly Doxing ICE Agent After Livestreamed Pursuit

One defendant is jailed without bond, another is free on $5,000 bond, a third is still being sought.

Overview

  • A federal grand jury charged Ashleigh Brown, 38, Cynthia Raygoza, 37, and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, with conspiracy and with publicly disclosing a federal agent’s personal information.
  • Prosecutors say the women followed an ICE agent from downtown Los Angeles to his Baldwin Park home on Aug. 28, livestreamed the pursuit on Instagram, and posted his home address while urging viewers to “come on down.”
  • The indictment alleges they alerted neighbors with shouts such as “ICE lives on your street” and encouraged viewers to share the stream.
  • Brown is in federal custody and also faces a separate assault-on-a-federal-officer charge, Samane is out on $5,000 bond, and authorities are searching for Raygoza.
  • Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli condemned the conduct and warned that doxing federal agents will bring prosecution, as the case follows DHS warnings and California’s new ban on most officer face coverings.
