**Three Activists Indicted for “Doxing” ICE Agent Amid Immigration Raid Protests in Los Angeles**
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three activists opposed to President Donald Trump’s immigration raids in Los Angeles have been indicted on charges of illegally “doxing” a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, federal prosecutors announced.
According to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office on Friday, investigators said the women followed the ICE agent home, livestreamed their pursuit, and later posted the agent’s address online. Upon arriving at the agent’s residence, prosecutors allege the women shouted, “ICE lives on your street and you should know,” according to the indictment.
The three defendants face one count each of conspiracy and publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent, the statement added.
Prosecutors provided details about the defendants’ status: a 25-year-old woman from Panorama City, California, is free on a $5,000 bond; a 38-year-old resident of Aurora, Colorado—also facing separate charges related to assault on a federal officer—is held in custody without bond. Authorities are still searching for the third defendant, a 37-year-old woman from Riverside, California.
“Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. “The conduct of these defendants is deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox, or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time.”
**What is Doxing?**
Doxing refers to the malicious act of gathering private or identifying information about someone and releasing it online without their consent—often with the intent to harass, threaten, shame, or seek revenge.
Attorneys representing the women could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday. An inquiry was sent to the Federal Public Defender’s Office to determine whether its attorneys are representing the defendants.
**Details of the Incident**
According to the indictment, the three women followed the ICE agent last month from the federal building in downtown Los Angeles to the agent’s home in Baldwin Park, east of Los Angeles. The entire pursuit was livestreamed, court documents reveal.
In July, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned that individuals who publish personal information of federal agents could face prosecution. Her statement came after flyers circulated in Portland, Oregon, encouraging the public to collect intelligence on ICE agents.
**Context: Controversy Over ICE Enforcement Tactics**
Critics of the Trump administration’s immigration raids have expressed outrage over federal agents wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves while arresting immigrants in California. Responding to these concerns, California recently became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers—including federal immigration agents—from covering their faces while performing official duties.
The indictment and ongoing case highlight the tensions between immigration enforcement efforts and activist responses amid heightened national debate.
