The FBI is on the lookout for an individual suspected of attacking a federal officer and causing damage to government property amid the protests against ICE in Los Angeles.

The organization is requesting help from the public and is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for any information that leads to the suspect’s identification, arrest, and conviction.

At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, the suspect reportedly threw rocks at police vehicles on Alondra Blvd. in Paramount, California, which led to a federal officer getting injured and government vehicles being damaged.

The suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also warned protesters who engage in violence that the agency will be pursuing “all available leads for assault on a federal officer, in addition to the many arrests already made.”

“Although we’ll pursue every case, we don’t need to catch every single perp, we just need to catch you,” Bongino wrote Sunday on X. “A short time ago, the Director and I notified our teams to use all of our investigative and technological tools to pursue you long after order is firmly established. We will not forget. Even after you try to.”

The Trump administration has also taken over the National Guard and deployed troops in Los Angeles to respond to demonstrations. The president has also threatened to send active-duty Marines.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, has denounced the federal government’s move to deploy the National Guard and has requested that the administration rescind its deployment of troops and return them to his command. The governor said the state will file a lawsuit against the administration over the federal deployment.

“Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos,” Newsom wrote Sunday on X. “Don’t take the bait. Never use violence or harm law enforcement.”

“President Trump is escalating the situation by threatening to deploy roughly 500 active-duty Marines to the streets of Los Angeles,” he said in another post. “Los Angeles: Remain peaceful. Don’t fall into the trap that extremists are hoping for.”

Newsom added in another post that Trump “wants chaos and he’s instigated violence.”

“Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest,” he wrote. “Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.”

Los Angeles Democrat mayor Karen Bass has also urged the administration to end the federal deployment.
