US EditionFBI arrests man accused of handing out riot gear during LA anti-ICE protest
- Federal authorities apprehended Alejandro Theodoro Orellana Thursday morning in East Los Angeles on charges related to providing protective gear to individuals involved in a protest that turned violent.
- The arrest followed widespread protests triggered by ICE enforcement tactics starting June 6, which escalated into confrontations and distribution of protective gear by some participants.
- Thousands took part in these anti-ICE demonstrations, with some escalating into violence, leading LA Mayor Karen Bass to enforce a curfew and prompting President Trump to send thousands of National Guard members and several hundred Marines to the area.
- U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced efforts to swiftly arrest individuals linked to supporting civil unrest and suggested that further charges could be forthcoming, while state officials accused President Trump of deliberately creating turmoil to rationalize the use of federal intervention.
- The arrest intensified the political dispute between Governor Newsom and the federal government, reflecting deeper conflicts over states' rights and federal responses to protest movements.
