Essayli noted that his office had authorized immediate arrests for such assaults, and that individuals caught on video throwing concrete blocks and other projectiles would be identified, arrested, and charged with federal felonies. Investigations into potential additional federal charges remain ongoing.  “Federal agents have started arresting those who assaulted our personnel at theLso Angeles courthouse. To those who were smashing concrete blocks and throwing them at our officers, we have you on video. We will find you and arrest you too. You’ve been warned,” Essayli announced on X. Dems are losing big time.

     In response to violence against federal officers and property during Saturday’s “No Kings” protest in downtown L.A. — where demonstrators threw projectiles at personnel near the U.S. Courthouse and Metropolitan Detention Center — First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli publicly warned on social media that federal agents have begun arresting those who assaulted personnel.  Dems are losing big time.

      A confrontation occurred at the U.S. Courthouse and Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles during a chaotic “No Kings” protest against the Trump administration.  While the primary demonstration at Gloria Molina Grand Park started out somewhat “tame,” a far-left splinter group escalated the situation by targeting the federal complex with concrete blocks and other projectiles, leading the LAPD to issue a citywide tactical alert and a formal dispersal order.  Federal agents deployed tear gas and pepper balls to defend the buildings and personnel, resulting in at least 75 arrests and severe injuries to two officers.

     Acting in coordination with the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, Essayli warned that federal agents have begun a sweep of arrests targeting individuals accused of assaulting courthouse personnel and law enforcement officers. Additionally, investigators are also reviewing surveillance footage to identify further suspects involved in the unrest.
