CSU Channel Islands Professor Indicted on Assault Charge After Protests Against Federal Raids in July | News Channel 3-12
Jonathan Caravello faces up to 20 years for assaulting federal officers during a July protest against the largest ICE immigration raid at a cannabis farm, where 350 undocumented workers were arrested.
- The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California announced on Wednesday that a federal grand jury indicted Jonathan Caravello, 37-year-old math professor at California State University Channel Islands, on one count of assault on a federal officer using a deadly weapon.
- On July 10, federal agents executed large raids at Glass House Farms, marijuana grow facilities in Camarillo and Carpinteria, California, arresting more than 300 undocumented workers and rescuing 14 children amid forced labor concerns.
- Prosecutors allege that Caravello picked up a Border Patrol tear gas canister and threw it back at agents, clashed with officers, attempted to tackle an agent, and resisted arrest by kicking during tear gas deployment.
- Caravello posted $15,000 bail and is expected to be arraigned in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles in the coming weeks; he faces up to 20 years under federal statute 18 USC 111 if convicted.
- Amid social-media claims of 'kidnapped,' California State University Channel Islands and the California Faculty Association defended Caravello while Homeland Security Investigations probes the case and Major Frauds Section prosecutors pursue charges.
