FIRST ON FOX – The Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has apprehended a previously deported illegal immigrant from Mexico. The individual allegedly hurled a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during the riots in Los Angeles on June 7.

Los Angeles has seen several days of chaos, as agitators have been setting vehicles on fire, hurling bricks and fireworks at police officers and their cars, defacing properties, looting stores, and breaking windows at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) headquarters downtown. These actions were reportedly in response to ICE operations in the city the previous week.

Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is charged with attempted murder after throwing the Molotov cocktail. 

“Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico who endangered the lives of federal law enforcement by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail during the violent riots in Los Angeles. ICE arrested Garduno-Galvez, and he now faces attempted murder charges. These are the kinds of criminal illegal immigrants that rioters are trying to defend,” said Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement on Wednesday.

DHS listed more information about 19 suspects who ICE Los Angeles arrested on June 7 who are accused of crimes ranging from robbery to second-degree murder to rape.

“America’s brave ICE officers are removing the worst of the worst from LA’s streets, while LA’s leaders are working tirelessly against them,” DHS said in a Sunday statement as riots continued through the weekend.
