The wheels of justice finally turned for two radical activists who thought they could terrorize Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with impunity. On Friday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced guilty verdicts against two women who stalked an ICE agent as he returned home from enforcement operations in Los Angeles.
The convicted stalkers weren't just local troublemakers – one traveled from suburban Riverside, California, while the other came all the way from Aurora, Colorado. This reveals the disturbing reality of a coordinated network of so-called "ICE Watch" extremists who cross state lines specifically to target, harass, and endanger federal law enforcement officers.
These aren't peaceful protesters exercising their First Amendment rights. These are dangerous individuals who deliberately followed a federal agent, putting his safety and his family's security at risk. The fact that one woman traveled from Colorado shows the level of premeditation and organization behind these attacks on our immigration enforcement officers.
Trump Administration Stands Behind Law Enforcement
This conviction comes at a critical time as President Trump's mass deportation operations ramp up across the country. ICE agents are doing the vital work of removing criminal illegal aliens and restoring order to our immigration system – work that was systematically undermined during the Biden administration.
The guilty verdicts send a crystal clear message: the days of leftist activists terrorizing federal agents are over. Under Trump's leadership, law enforcement officers finally have the backing they deserve, and those who threaten them will face the full force of the law.
For four years, anti-ICE radicals operated with virtual impunity while Biden's Department of Justice focused more on targeting parents at school board meetings than protecting federal agents. Those days are finished.
Patriots across America should celebrate this victory for the rule of law. Our ICE agents risk their lives every day to protect American communities from dangerous criminal aliens. They deserve our support, not harassment from unhinged leftist activists who prioritize illegal aliens over American safety.
How many more of these anti-law enforcement extremists will think twice before targeting our brave ICE agents now that real consequences are back on the table?
