A federal grand jury has indicted three women for allegedly following a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent from his workplace, livestreaming the pursuit on social media and then posting his home address online.
The indictment charges the trio — Cynthia Raygoza, 37, of Riverside, California; Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado; and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, of Panorama City, California — with one count of conspiracy and one count of publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent, according to a Friday announcement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
Brown and Samane were arrested. Brown, who also faces separate charges of assaulting a federal officer, remains in custody without bond, while Samane was released on $5,000 bond. Their arraignments are slated for Sept. 30 and Oct. 9, respectively.
Raygoza remains at large, according to the indictment.

If convicted, each woman faces up to five years in federal prison per count.
The announcement comes as one ICE detainee was killed, and two others were injured Wednesday when a gunman opened fire on an agency facility in Dallas. And in July, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said attacks on ICE agents had skyrocketed by 830% since January.
