Federal Grand Jury INDICTS Rioter for Injuring Border Patrol Officer by Throwing Pieces of Cinderblocks

A rioter who repeatedly threw cinderblocks at Border Patrol officers in Paramount, California during an anti-ICE riot, injuring one, has just been indicted by a federal grand jury and he faces a long incarceration if convicted.

This from therightscoop.com.

The announcement from Acting U.S. Attorney for California Bill Essayli:

A federal grand jury has indicted Jacob Daniel Terrazas, 30, of Paramount, for injuring a Border Patrol officer during an anti-ICE riot on June 7.

Further:

After repeatedly throwing pieces of cinderblock at law enforcement, officers detained Terrazas, who now faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted.

And:

We will not stand by while our brave officers get hurt. If you’re thinking of injuring an officer or agent enforcing immigration law, think again. It’s not worth it.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, during that protest, Terrazas threw several pieces of concrete at law enforcement. One of those pieces allegedly hit a Border Patrol agent in the shin and injured him. Officials said Terrazas and several others threw rocks and cinderblocks at agents for three hours.

Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli shared video of Terrazas’ arrest on X. The video showed several agents rushing Terrazas and slamming him into the ground. Bits of what appear to be cinderblocks appear to be on the ground in the area.

Below is the video posted of the incident from June 7:

The backstory:

In June, protests erupted across Southern California, as the Trump administration drastically increased the number of immigration enforcement operations.

Protesters took to the streets of Paramount for days, clashing with law enforcement. At least two other people have been charged with throwing things like concrete blocks and Molotov cocktails at immigration officials.

What’s next:

Terrazas will go on trial on Sept. 23.

Final thought: If the source of funding and delivery of the cinderblocks could be determined, that may make for additional indictments.
