US EditionFederal Judge Dismisses Indictment Against LA TikTok Creator Shot by ICE Officer
A federal judge dismissed charges against TikTok streamer Carlitos Ricardo Parias over ICE's denial of counsel and discovery failures, barring refiling of assault charges.
- In a Saturday order, U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin dismissed the indictment against Carlitos Ricardo Parias with prejudice, citing denial of counsel and discovery delays before his Tuesday trial.
- Federal agents boxed in Carlitos Ricardo Parias, TikTok streamer, during an Oct. 21 traffic stop where an ICE officer fired, injuring Parias and a deputy marshal; a grand jury indicted him in November.
- Body-Worn camera footage shows an ICE officer smashing the passenger-side window while holding a gun and firing as Carlitos Ricardo Parias raised his hands; Parias and a deputy U.S. marshal suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
- Although the criminal charges were dismissed, prosecutors cannot refile the same counts because the dismissal was with prejudice, and Carlitos Ricardo Parias could remain in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody as his case proceeds.
- The government produced key footage late, including material not provided until November 26, 2025, and Olguin wrote constitutional violations began when Parias was detained at Adelanto ICE Processing Center, impeding counsel access.
