Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Monday that the individual charged with attacking a federal officer during the protests against ICE in Los Angeles has been identified.

The FBI initially asked for the public’s help by offering a $50,000 cash reward for information leading to the man’s arrest. He was accused of injuring a federal officer after throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles, according to the FBI.

Bondi was a guest on “Hannity” Monday night, when she broke the news to host Sean Hannity.

The FBI said in a wanted poster that the suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

FBI Director Kash Patel warned Saturday night, “if you assault a law enforcement officer, you’re going to jail—period.”

“It doesn’t matter where you came from, how you got here, or what cause you claim to represent,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “If local jurisdictions won’t stand behind the men and women who wear the badge, the FBI will.”

Patel also issued similar warnings on social media.

“Doesn’t matter where you came from, how you got here, or what movement speaks to you. If the local police force won’t back our men and women on the thin blue line, we @FBI will,” Patel wrote Saturday night on X.

Fox News Digital’s Landon Mion contributed to this report.
