Jury Convicts Two Protesters of Stalking ICE Agent in Los Angeles

The split verdict delivers a rare trial win for federal prosecutors pursuing protest cases in Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Ashleigh Brown and Cynthia Raygoza were found guilty of one count of stalking, while a third defendant, Sandra Samane, was acquitted of all charges.
  • Jurors acquitted Brown and Raygoza of conspiring to publish protected personal information, a doxing-related count that had followed an investigator’s erroneous address attribution.
  • Prosecutors said the pair followed an ICE agent on Aug. 28, 2025 from a downtown federal building to his Baldwin Park home, live-streamed the pursuit on the “ice_out_ofla” account, and shouted to neighbors upon arrival.
  • Each defendant faces up to five years in federal prison, with sentencing set for June 8.
  • Federal officials hailed the outcome as part of a crackdown on protest-related interference with immigration officers, while defense attorneys called the case overblown and signaled plans to appeal.
