LOS ANGELES â A June 8 sentencing hearing has been set for two women convicted of pursuing an ICE agent by car through the streets of Los Angeles.
Cynthia Raygoza, 38, of Riverside, and Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado, were found guilty by a jury late Friday of stalking the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officer, according to the U.S. Attorneyâs Office.
Evidence at the weeklong trial showed Raygoza and Brown followed the agentâs vehicle from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to the ICE employeeâs Baldwin Park home on Aug. 28, 2025.
Prosecutors said the defendants used Instagram accounts including one titled âice_out_oflaâ to stream their actions.
Upon arriving at the victimâs home, the defendants shouted to bystanders that their âneighbor is ICE,â âla migra lives hereâ and âICE lives on your street and you should know,â the jury in Los Angeles federal court was told.
Raygoza and Brown were each found guilty of one count of stalking and acquitted of one count of conspiring to publish protected personal information about a federal employee. A third defendant, Sandra Samane, of Panaroma City, was acquitted of both counts, federal prosecutors said.
The two women each face up to five years in federal prison, prosecutors noted.
âWe thank the jury for bringing justice to these agitators who violated the law and endangered the safety of this federal officer and his family,â First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli posted Friday on Facebook. âPeaceful protests are protected by the Constitution, political violence and unlawful intimidation are not.â
