Assaults against ICEhave consequences.
About 100 alleged perpetrators — along with untold numbers who saw or read of their arrests — have learned that lesson in Southern California.
Among the latest is Peter Escalante Hernandez,accused of assaultinga federal officer during a recent riot and brandishing a replica gun at federal agents in downtown LA.
Bill Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, has made it clear that in Southern California,anti-ICE lawbreakers will face prosecution.
Good: Enforcing laws against violence improves peace and safety for all residents of Los Angeles and the region.
It prevents the normalization of such criminal conduct as doxxing agents; hurling rocks, bottles and other hard objects at officers; and tossing molotov cocktails at vehicles and buildings.
Deterring violence also makes it less likely that people — be they agents, bystanders, or protesters themselves — will be hurt or killed in politicized mayhem.
As Essayli said, “The riots (in Los Angeles) ended when we started putting people in jail.”
Ready prosecution has helped prevent Minneapolis-level anti-ICE chaos in California, he added.
It should go without saying yet somehow (these days) it doesn’t:
