Three Women Indicted for Targeting ICE Agents

Last month, a federal jury indicted three women for allegedly targeting immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) agents. The Department of Justice (DOJ) made this announcement on Friday.

The trio includes two women from Southern California and one from Colorado. They are said to have livestreamed their interactions and shared the address of an ICE executive’s home on Instagram, essentially following the agent to their residence.

The women—Cynthia Reigoza, 37, from Riverside, California; Ashley Brown, 38, from Aurora, Colorado; and Sandra Carmona Saman, 25, from Panorama City, California—face charges of conspiracy and unlawfully disclosing personal information, as noted in the unsealed documents.

Bill Essay, a lawyer from the Central District of California, commented, “Our brave federal agents risk their lives every day to keep our country safe. These defendants’ actions are deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. Any threats, doxing, or harm toward any agent or employee will result in serious consequences.”

Brown and Saman were taken into custody on related federal criminal charges. Brown is currently in federal detention, while Saman has been released on a $5,000 bond, according to the DOJ. Authorities are actively searching for Reigoza.

This indictment comes amidst heightened criticism of ICE operations across the nation from activists and Democrats. In recent weeks, the Trump administration pledged to take action against those obstructing or violently confronting federal immigration officials.

Later on Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondy announced plans to deploy federal agents to ICE facilities, noting that officials are feeling besieged in their work.

The indictment alleges that the three women stalked the ICE agent from Los Angeles’ Civic Center area to her home on August 28. They reportedly livestreamed their pursuit on Instagram and shouted to bystanders, announcing the agent’s details such as “Neighbors are ICE,” “Ramigra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street, and you should know.”

If found guilty, the women could face up to five years in prison for each charge, according to the DOJ.
