The US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced in a press release on Friday that a grand jury indicted three people for doxxing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in August. The individuals are charged with conspiracy and publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent.

The DOJ alleges the three defendants—Cynthia Raygoza, Ashleigh Brown, and Sandra Carmona Samane—livestreamed themselves following an ICE agent home in Los Angelos. They then stated “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.” The DOJ claims the defendants posted to Instagram the agent’s home address, calling on people to “come on down.” 

Doxxing is the public disclosure of an individual’s personal information, without their permission, usually for malicious purposes. The US criminal code at 18 USC § 119 prohibits making publicly available the restricted personal information of certain individuals, like federal law enforcement, “with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite the commission of a crime of violence” against them or with knowledge the disclosure will be used for such purposes. Restricted personal information includes one’s home address.

The defendants face up to five years in prison if they are convicted. Brown and Samane have both been arrested with Samane being released on bail and Brown in custody due to an unrelated offense. Law enforcement has not yet located Raygoza.

These arrests comes against the backdrop of constant tension regarding the Trump administration’s immigration policies and actions. Major protests against Trump’s immigration executive orders took place in Los Angelos at the beginning of the year. Protests continued throughout the summer amid the administration’s mass deportation efforts. In response to criticism over ICE’s operations, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law making it illegal for federal law enforcement to wear masks to obscure their identity while on duty. Last week, a sniper attacked an ICE facility, killing one and injuring others.

Brown is set to be arraigned on October 9, and Samane on September 30.
