Overview

  • In San Francisco, U.S. citizen Angélica Guerrero was charged with two federal misdemeanors after a clash outside the immigration court and was released pending a September hearing.
  • Bay Area defense attorneys say they cannot recall prior federal criminal charges against a local ICE protester, and supporters allege she lacked timely access to phone calls and counsel.
  • DHS identified the Washington, D.C., detainee as David Perez-Teofani, noting three illegal entries and a final removal order, while Fairfax County records show related child-sex charges filed in 2024 were later dropped.
  • Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano said the case was dismissed after the victim and mother stopped communicating with authorities, adding prosecutors could revisit it if witnesses reengage.
  • ICE San Diego said the Encinitas detainee near Park Dale Lane Elementary is an undocumented Guatemalan with a 2017 final removal order, as school leaders and elected officials condemned the school-area arrest and called for oversight.
