Some LA protesters responding to ICE raids could be prosecuted, FBI announces
- Federal authorities carried out several enforcement operations across Los Angeles on June 6 and 7, 2025, leading to confrontations with demonstrators at multiple sites.
- These raids targeted individuals with active deportation orders or criminal warrants, enforcing longstanding bipartisan immigration laws amid heightened local political tensions.
- During the raids, violent confrontations erupted, leading the FBI to intervene in at least one incident and resulting in multiple arrests for obstructing operations.
- Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino emphasized that while people have the right to gather and demonstrate, this does not grant permission to assault law enforcement personnel. He also confirmed that the evidence is being carefully examined in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to pursue legal action against those responsible.
- The enforcement actions sparked political backlash from local Democrats concerned about detainee conditions, while federal officials emphasized legal authority and promised continued targeted enforcement around Los Angeles.
