With all of the flurry of activity over James Comey and the two-count indictment against him on Thursday spilling into the news cycle through late Friday evening, it's no wonder that some other big news out of the Justice Department managed to fly under the radar. And in the wake of the shooting meant to harm ICE personnel at the Dallas facility, what they are reporting is egregious, if true.
As my colleague Bob Hoge wrote earlier on Friday, California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom was already having a bad day, after Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli informed him and the Democrat-majority legislature that the law banning face coverings for state and federal law enforcement officers is a no-go:
The Department of Homeland Security has already told Newsom and the Golden State that the law is DOA, but now U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli has put them on notice in writing that he will instruct federal officers to continue as they were—and anyone who tries to interfere will face serious problems.
Just imagine how much more consternation Newsom is suffering, though, after getting word about the following news, since it blows his arguments against law enforcement being allowed to do their jobs out of the water.
According to the Central District of California's U.S. Attorney's Office, on Tuesday, a federal grand jury handed down a two-count indictment of activists who allegedly doxxed an ICE agent after trailing him to his home.

The indictment has just been unsealed, as Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli shared on his X account Friday.
The assaults and doxing of federal agents must stop. We will aggressively pursue criminal charges against those engaging in this unlawful behavior.

Today, we unsealed a federal indictment charging three women—two from Southern California and one from Colorado—with following a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent home, livestreaming their pursuit, and posting the victim’s home address on Instagram.
Each defendant faces 5 years in federal prison.
Here's what's in it:
Cynthia Raygoza, 37, of Riverside, California; Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado; and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, of Panaroma City, CA, are charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent.
According to the indictment, on August 28, 2025, the defendants followed the victim – an ICE agent – from the Civic Center in downtown Los Angeles to his personal residence. The defendants livestreamed on their Instagram accounts their pursuit of the victim and provided directions as they followed the victim home, encouraging their viewers to share the livestream. Their Instagram accounts used to livestream the event were “ice_out_of_la,” “defendmesoamericanculture,” and “corn_maiden_design.”
Upon arriving at the victim’s personal residence, the defendants shouted to bystanders while livestreaming on Instagram that their “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.”
The defendants publicly disclosed on Instagram the victim’s home address and told viewers, “Come on down.”
What's the current status of the defendants? Both Brown and Samane were arrested on the federal charges, but Raygoza remains at large.
In addition to those charges, Brown is charged in a separate case with assault on a federal officer, and she is being held without bond. Meanwhile, Semane was released on a $5,000 bond. Brown's arraignment hearing is set for September 30; Semane's arraignment is October 9.
Essayli has a warning for anyone who tries to "threaten, dox, or harm" DHS employees or agents:
“Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe. The conduct of these defendants are deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox, or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time.”
