A mob attacked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in San Francisco on Wednesday, with one suspect allegedly threatening to stab an officer and target his family, federal officials confirmed, as reported by The New York Post.
Adrian Guerrero was arrested and charged with assaulting an officer and destruction of property following the confrontation, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Prosecutors said Guerrero was armed with a black knife, wore a black-and-white checkered keffiyeh headscarf and orange-tinted goggles, and shouted threats during the assault.

“I’m going to f**k you up,” Guerrero allegedly yelled at an ICE officer, according to the complaint. Guerrero also threatened, “I’m going to go after your family” and “I’m going to stab you,” during the incident on Montgomery Street in San Francisco.
Authorities said Guerrero had earlier slashed the tire of a white Chevrolet vehicle with DHS and government markings. He was arrested shortly after the assault.
The attack was part of a larger confrontation involving about 15 anti-ICE demonstrators. DHS reported that rioters pepper-sprayed officers and struck them during the melee.

The U.S. Federal Protective Service and San Francisco Police Department later assisted ICE agents in dispersing the crowd.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem issued a statement Friday condemning the attacks and highlighting the rise in violence against ICE personnel.

“Our brave ICE law enforcement are now facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them as they risk their lives to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens,” Noem said.
“These acts of violence are fueled by sanctuary politicians’ rhetoric vilifying our law enforcement,” she added. “We will not and have not let this violence stop us or slow us down.
Every day our law enforcement continues to enforce the law and arrest the most depraved criminals including pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, gang members, and sexual predators.”
The San Francisco attack is the latest in a series of violent incidents targeting federal immigration authorities.
In July, a group of at least ten armed assailants wearing military-style gear and tactical vests opened fire on ICE agents and a local police officer at a detention center near Dallas. All suspects in that case were later charged with attempted murder.
Federal authorities said Guerrero remains in custody while his case proceeds in court.
