In Los Angeles and Portland, Anti-ICE Agitators Are Currently in the 'Find Out' Stage
In June of 2025, RedState reported on anti-ICE rioters who were
targeting, interfering, and obstructing Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Los Angeles. As our Managing Editor, Jen Van Laar, documented.
For the second day in a row, people
protesting without a permit have shut down Los Angeles roadways and
assaulted police officers, and for the second day in a row Mayor Karen Bass
has publicly ignored the situation and privately told officers to stand down and retreat.
The
lawbreakers, many of them holding flags from Mexico and other Latin
American countries, say they're there to protest ICE raids, which they
claim are picking up sweet little abuelas and whisking them off to
concentration camps.
Because of the inaction by L.A.
Mayor Karen Bass (D) and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D),
President
Donald Trump deployed the National Guard, but not before one brain trust
decided to ride his motorcycle into a skirmish line of LAPD officers.
Randy Paul Ruiz was arrested and indicted by L.A. County District
Attorney Nathan Hochman on two felony counts of assault upon a peace officer.
On
June 8, at about 3:40 p.m., police were holding a skirmish line at the
corner of Temple and Alameda streets when Ruiz allegedly drove a
motorcycle into the line of officers.
A year later,
Ruiz pleaded guilty to charges of obstructing, impeding, or interfering
with law enforcement operations during civil disorder. Ruiz is now in
the "find out" stage. First Assistant District Attorney Bill Essayli
posted on X about this conviction.
Randy
Paul Ruiz, 28, of East Los Angeles, pleaded guilty today to 18 U.S.C.
111 for obstructing, impeding, or interfering with law enforcement
during civil disorder, a felony carrying a maximum of five years in
federal prison.
On June 8, 2025, two days after a wave of violence
against law enforcement began, LAPD officers were stationed outside the
Roybal Federal Building in Downtown L.A. to protect people and property
threatened by violent agitators protesting enforcement of immigration
laws Congress passed decades ago. The civil disorder closed a nearby
freeway and federal offices.
Ruiz sat atop his motorcycle among
the protesters. He then drove his motorcycle from the crowd into a
skirmish line of LAPD officers. He was arrested and charged in state and
federal court. His federal sentencing hearing is set for November 2.
Justice
has finally come back to Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon is not far
behind. U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford for the District of Oregon
announced the plea of an anti-ICE agitator who assaulted a federal officer.
A Gresham, Oregon, man pleaded guilty
today after he was charged with assaulting a federal law enforcement
officer during a declared riot near a U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland.
Ginovanni Joseph Brumbelow, 22, pleaded guilty to assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.
According
to court documents, on June 14, 2025, Brumbelow struck a federal
officer in the back of the head with a wooden stake while the officer
was arresting another individual during a riot at the ICE facility in
South Portland.
On July 15, 2025, a federal grand jury in Portland
returned a three-count indictment charging Brumbelow with assault on a
federal officer, assault of a federal officer with a dangerous weapon
and civil disorder.
Brumbelow is also in the "find
out" stage. His sentencing is scheduled for October 19, where he "faces a
maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three
years of supervised release." Also as part of his plea agreement,
Brumbelow will pay full restitution to the federal officer he admitted he assaulted.
Breaking: Portland Antifa militant Ginovanni Joseph Brumbelow has been CONVICTED for felony assault against an ICE agent.
Brumbelow,
22, of Gresham, used a wooden stake to strike the officer in the head,
attempting to impale him outside the Portland ICE facility.
He faces 20 years in prison for the June 14, 2025, attack.
While
some of the big fish Americans want to see on the hook have yet to be
caught, these smaller, and extremely violent fish still matter.
Americans are weary of symbolic arrests, hearings, and claims of justice
being served without any real consequences being meted out. Ruiz and
Brumbelow were once exceptions, but now are becoming the poster children
for the rule of law being executed. Let us hope this continues.
Editor’s Note: ICE and CBP continue to put themselves in harm's way in order to protect America’s sovereignty and to keep our streets safe.
