FBI arrests man accused of handing out riot gear during LA anti-ICE protest
- Federal officials apprehended Alejandro Theodoro Orellana on Thursday morning in East Los Angeles on charges related to providing face shields to individuals believed to be involved in a protest against ICE raids near downtown federal buildings earlier that week.
- The arrest came amid widespread protests triggered by ICE enforcement tactics starting June 6, which included raids at schools, courthouses, workplaces, and retail stores across Los Angeles.
- Thousands participated in mostly peaceful protests, but confrontations with law enforcement occurred while the distribution of riot gear like face shields raised questions about organized unrest.
- U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli emphasized that authorities are promptly working to find and apprehend individuals connected to the civil unrest, while a federal judge ruled that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard was unlawful, although that decision was temporarily paused by an appeals court.
- The arrest and protests escalated political tensions, with California Governor Newsom filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration for deploying troops and accusing it of creating a crisis to legitimize federal intervention.
