The defendants are each charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent.
LOS ANGELES — Three activists who oppose President Donald Trump’s immigration operations in Los Angeles have been charged with unlawfully revealing personal details of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, federal prosecutors announced.
Officials stated that the women tracked the agent to his home, broadcasted their chase live, and subsequently shared the agent’s address on the internet, as per a Friday release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. At the agent’s residence, prosecutors claim the women exclaimed, “ICE lives on your street and you should know,” according to the charges.
Each defendant faces one charge of conspiracy and an additional charge for publicly sharing the personal information of a federal official, as detailed in the release.
Prosecutors indicated that a 25-year-old woman from Panorama City, California, is currently released on a $5,000 bond. Meanwhile, a 38-year-old from Aurora, Colorado, who also faces separate charges related to assaulting a federal officer, remains in custody without bail.
And authorities are searching for the third defendant, a 37-year-old woman from Riverside, California.
Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli commented, “Our courageous federal agents undertake serious risks daily to ensure our nation’s safety,” in his statement. “Such actions by these defendants are seriously disrespectful to law enforcement personnel and their families. If you threaten, disclose sensitive information, or harm our agents in any way, you will be prosecuted and face incarceration.”
Doxing refers to the often harmful act of gathering private or identifiable information and posting it online without the individual’s consent, typically to intimidate, threaten, shame, or seek retribution.
Attorneys for the women could not immediately be reached on Monday. An email was sent to the Federal Public Defender’s Office asking if its attorneys are representing the defendants.
According to the indictment, the three women last month followed an ICE agent from the federal building in downtown Los Angeles to the agent’s residence in Baldwin Park east of LA. They livestreamed the entire event, court documents say.
In July, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem threatened to prosecute people for publishing federal agents’ personal information in response to fliers in Portland, Oregon, that called for people to collect intel on ICE.
Critics of the Trump administration’s raids have expressed outrage over federal agents wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves in public while arresting immigrants in California.
Last week, California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from covering their faces while conducting official business.
