Overview

  • The unsealed complaint alleges Carvavello hurled a tear gas canister at Border Patrol agents before leaving, changing clothes, and returning to the protest site.
  • He faces federal charges of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with his first hearing scheduled July 14 in the Central District of California.
  • The California Faculty Association and community members held a vigil in Los Angeles demanding transparency after masked agents detained Carvavello.
  • Supporters contend that four unmarked, masked agents failed to identify themselves or disclose his whereabouts for over 24 hours.
  • DHS, which is appealing a federal injunction on appearance-based stops, says its raids uncovered immigration violations and rescued 14 children from potential forced labor.
