Four men are facing federal charges of assault and throwing Molotov cocktails at law enforcement officers during anti-immigration enforcement protests in California, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California on Wednesday.
One of the accused men includes an illegal migrant identified as 23-year-old Emiliano Garduno Galvez. The man allegedly has a criminal record and a previous deportation order, according to the Washington Times.
“Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who threatened the lives of federal law enforcement officers by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail during the violent riots in Los Angeles,” Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary at Homeland Security, said. “These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect.”
Galvez and another suspect, Wrackkie Quiogue, 27, of Long Beach, who are both in custody, were charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device, which comes with a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.
On Saturday, Galvez allegedly lit and threw a Molotov cocktail over a wall where Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies were engaging in crowd control activities, before running away, according to an affidavit filed with the criminal complaint.
