Antifa Finds Out as Feds Arrest Members Behind Attacks on ICE Agents in Two States [WATCH]

Federal authorities have announced a series of arrests connected to violent ambushes targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other law enforcement officers in California and Texas last summer.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that several individuals accused of organizing or participating in the attacks have been taken into custody in recent days, with others still at large.

The operations, carried out by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Department of Justice, stem from two high-profile incidents: the July 10 raid on a marijuana cultivation facility in Ventura County, California, and a separate July 4 ambush at an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas.

Both incidents involved coordinated assaults on law enforcement personnel by organized groups, including members of Antifa-linked organizations and self-described “rapid response” networks.

According to court filings from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, the Ventura County incident occurred during a federal raid on the Glass House marijuana farm, where ICE and other federal agents discovered underage workers and detained more than 300 people.

Before the operation was completed, individuals affiliated with a local activist network known as VC Defensa were alerted to the raid through social media and arrived at the site to disrupt the operation.

VC Defensa, described by authorities as a volunteer organization that monitors ICE and DHS activity, reportedly mobilized a group of individuals who constructed makeshift barricades with farm machinery to block access to the facility.

Investigators said some participants carried weapons, while others used farm tools and rocks to attack federal vehicles.

Federal agents said one protester fired a handgun at officers.

Another suspect, identified as Isai Carrillo of Oxnard, California, was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer.

Prosecutors allege Carrillo and another individual, Virginia Reyes—who remains at large—threw large rocks at government vehicles during the confrontation.

Both face potential prison sentences of up to five years if convicted.

Officials said the same investigation led to additional arrests in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, where several individuals were accused of attacking California Highway Patrol officers with rocks, bicycles, scooters, and incendiary materials during protests connected to immigration enforcement operations.

Ten people have been charged with obstructing and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder. Each count carries a maximum five-year federal prison term.

“While the Constitution protects the freedom of speech and the freedom to peaceably assemble, it does not provide for the freedom to assault federal officers, impede or obstruct federal officers or conspire to do so, or destroy government property,” said Eddy Wang, Special Agent in Charge of HSI Los Angeles.

Authorities said that during the Glass House confrontation, rioters damaged at least four government vehicles and injured one officer.

The Justice Department indicated that more arrests may follow as investigators analyze digital communications and surveillance footage from the scene.

In a related case in Texas, federal prosecutors confirmed progress in the ongoing investigation into the July 4 attack at the Prairieland ICE facility in Alvarado.

That incident involved members of the Socialist Rifle Association and the John Brown Gun Club, groups linked to Antifa activity in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

According to law enforcement sources, explosives were detonated outside the facility to lure officers into an ambush, during which a police officer was shot in the neck. The officer survived.

Eighteen people have been arrested in connection with the Texas plot, with two facing terrorism charges.

In recent days, another suspect—identified as 35-year-old Janette Goering of Carrollton, Texas—was arrested on state charges of aiding the commission of terrorism.

Goering, who authorities said used the alias “Anarchy Marie,” is accused of providing technical and material support to the group, including electronic devices designed to evade detection.

She allegedly supplied a Faraday bag to the cell’s leader, who authorities described as a self-styled extremist with ties to other anarchist organizations.

Officials said the Antifa-aligned network behind the Texas plot employed tactics similar to those used in the 2019 attack on an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington, in which an armed assailant attempted to ignite propane tanks and open fire on law enforcement officers.

Federal officials emphasized that the investigations into both the California and Texas incidents are ongoing and that additional arrests are expected.

Authorities said they intend to pursue the cases as examples of coordinated efforts to obstruct federal law enforcement and intimidate officers engaged in immigration and anti-trafficking operations.

The Justice Department reiterated that violence against law enforcement officers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

“Assaulting or obstructing a federal officer is not protest—it is a felony,” one DOJ official said in a statement.

“Those who attack law enforcement in the name of political activism will be held accountable.”
