Anti-ICE women convicted of felony stalking an agent, face up to 5 years each

Two leftist women have been convicted of the felony stalking of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

On Aug. 28, Coloradan Ashleigh Brown and Californian Cynthia Raygoza livestreamed themselves following an ICE officer as he traveled from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his home.

Both were wearing black clothes and a mask, according to both a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release and an ICE tweet:

“The defendants livestreamed on their Instagram accounts their pursuit of the victim and provided directions as they followed the victim home, encouraging their viewers to share the livestream,” the press release notes.

Once they arrived at the officer’s home, the two started yelling at bystanders that their “neighbor is ICE” and that “ICE lives on your street and you should know.”

Raygoza took it even further, reportedly threatening to “pop” the ICE officer, prompting both the officer’s wife and a neighbor to call 911. The two women also reportedly harassed the officer’s wife with racial slurs.

“[C]hildren witnessed the incident and suffered emotional distress,” according to the DOJ press release.

Also, all the attention the two women brought to the officer’s home attracted “increased traffic from onlookers in the ensuing weeks,” leading to the officer having to relocate his family to a different county.

“The forced move significantly disrupted the education of the victim’s children,” the press release notes. “The victim’s 3-year-old son, who has a disability, lost several social and health care benefits that were tied to his former county.”

Though both women were originally charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent, they were only convicted of stalking on Feb. 28.

Each woman faces a maximum of five years in prison during their June 8 sentencing hearing.

Critics reacted to their conviction and upcoming sentencing by paying tribute to the FAFO doctrine:

All this comes amid a 1,300 percent increase in assaults and a more than 8,000 percent increase in death threats against ICE officers.

“While Americans were enjoying their weekends, the brave men and women of ICE were arresting criminal illegal alien murderers, rapists, child abusers, and other scumbags,” Acting ICE Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement published on Monday.

“Instead of thanking ICE officers for their heroism, sanctuary politicians continue to peddle false narratives in order to demonize our brave law enforcement. Even while facing a 1,300 percent increase in assaults and a more than 8,000 percent increase in death threats, ICE will not back down until America is safe again,” she added.
