Two federal employees were hospitalized after a mob of 40 to 50 anti-ICE demonstrators ambushed and assaulted them outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, with attackers filming the brutal confrontation on their phones.
Violent Confrontation Caught on Camera
Video footage captured protesters following federal workers into a parking lot near Alameda and Commercial streets as they finished their shifts. The demonstrators snatched a Bureau of Prisons employee’s clear bag and began striking the workers multiple times. One federal employee was forced to draw his firearm while attempting to retreat from a dozen protesters who continued pursuing him with cameras and mobile phones. The incident escalated into an all-out brawl, with one worker being pummeled near a set of stairs before officers managed to fight off their attackers.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to multiple 911 calls and arrested two protesters in connection with the attacks. The suspects face potential felony and misdemeanor battery charges. Both injured federal employees remain hospitalized with undisclosed injuries. The demonstrators included at least one person carrying a Palestine flag and another with their face covered.
Unprecedented Assault on Federal Officers
First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli called the persistent attacks on federal agents unprecedented. He stated authorities have never experienced this level of assaults on federal agents before. Essayli warned that anyone who assaults or stalks a federal officer will face arrest and felony charges, emphasizing that attacking officers is not only illegal but extremely dangerous for all parties since officers are permitted to defend themselves with reasonable force.
Detention Center Becomes Activist Target
The Metropolitan Detention Center, which houses both an immigration detention facility and US District Court operations, has become a focal point for activist demonstrations. Protesters have gathered at the location based on rumors that illegal migrants are being secretly detained in the facility’s basement. The Sunday attack represents the most violent escalation in ongoing protests at the federal building, raising serious concerns about the safety of government employees performing their duties.

It should be fixed policy to beat riotes to within an inch of their lives for that sort of crap. Then thrown them in prison for serious time. We’d soon have a lot less of it.
Bad ice agent’s should be Beaten and thrown into prison!!!
what does JPCS stand for,chicken starts with a C
JPCS it sounds like you are promoting hate and violence against federal officers for doing their job
You poor lost soul!!!!
enough said.
Who determines which ICE agentsare the bad ones? You? These rabid anti-ICE
rioters? Should even thebad agents not be allowed to protect themselves from an angry violent mob?
I’m with You on that Bob,they should get hard time,nowbody should be afraid of those
commies.then they should go after the ones that finance such a thing,We have to take back our country what ever it takes,stop using kid gloves on them.
Perfect. Sounds reasonable to me. I’d like to go further but this would do. No place on earth for this kind of scum.
Totally agree! We need to bring back “hard time”.
That’s staring a Civil war.
No it is ending the threat of total civil anarchy.
I say you shoot them in self defense for fear of your life. That will stop them from doing this demonic violence!
GREAT !!! Shoot 50 of Them…Meanwhile…They Get Their Guns and Shoot Them…Correcting Violence With Violence Isn’t The Answer…
not correcting it is certainly a worse answer
I disagree, understand this group started the violence. No one should be subjected to an assault whipping because someone is willing to had it out. Believe me I would have shot and not thought twice about it.

So how is that second hand Subbaru
Did you replace that worn out bumpersticker Lets Co- Exist
And, that starts a Civil war, did you say shoot them on Jan 6 ?? Or were you cheering the rioters.
ICE officers should be armed and have permission to shoot to kill any anti-ICE protesters who attack them! Enough is enough; take them out and put them in the ground!!!
My thoughts exactly. It says one of the agents drew his weapon. I am thinking you yell “I am in fear of my life and I am going to stop you”.. Then start defending yourself with your weapon. That is what it is for.
If he would have fired his weapon, he most likely wouldn’t have made it home that day.
Agreed. Sick of this BS
That’s not the answer. I agree with the concept of ICE, but they have gotten out of hand, especially after being trained by the IDF. Don’t kid yourself, that really happened. Israel is in charge, always.
There should have been 30-40 arrests, not just 2, especially since they were recorded.
Anti-ICE protestors are un-American criminals and should be treated as such!!!
I agree, force deployment against rioters seeking to harm federal government agents needs to stop & it will if the courts are willing to prosecute those that break the law. Unfortunately we have too many rogue judges & lawyers that side with lawbreakers
You REALLY need to start leaving chalk outlines!! If some of these cowards didn’t come home for dinner, things might change!
I second that
Hope they go through all the videos and use facial recognition to id and arrest other rioters. Get warrants to search their phones, cars, homes, apartments, workspace to see if you find guns, drugs, evidence – and verify their US Citizenship. Then arrest and detain them in that same facility until the Federal Court can prosecute them, say in 1-2 years, and don’t let them out on bail! Make them pay!!! As soon as any crowd begins to form around government/police/ICE offices or locations they need a special group of well trained Swat Team folks to come in and just lock them all up! What ever happened to California? Glad I moved to the South in 1993!
You mean like the Jan6 rioters??
Soilent Green? Need to root out the organizers and financers
Should have mowed them all down. Protests should be completely outlawed. It’s quite obvious that people can’t handle it. This wasn’t a protest at all. It was a violent mob attack. How many against two? Really brave worthless people. Definitely should have shot them all.
>…anyone who assaults or stalks a federal officer will face arrest and felony charges
No! No! NOOO! That should read “anyone who assaults or stalks a federal officer will face business end of military grade firearm. No retreating from a mob!
Shoot them all enough is enough
A estos alborotadores hay que darles una buena paliza, a ver si les gusta.
Shoot the Motherf—-rs
The Mayor of NYC belongs in a cell at Rykers.
How long would anyone allow someone to break-in to their home and stay without permission.
