LA protesters charged after fireworks hurled at police, officials say
A handful of Los Angeles protesters accused of hurling fireworks at police during a demonstrations against immigration raids in the city, have been criminally charged, officials announced Wednesday. While most of the protests in LA in recent days have been peaceful, there have been some bad actors accused of vandalizing property and committing violence against law enforcement, officials said. Authorities charged five protesters Wednesday. LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said at least one officer has been injured by flying fireworks. 'I've watched Molotov cocktails and fireworks, shot mortars being launched out of tubes at our officers,' the chief said, according to NBC Los Angeles. McDonnell continued: 'Let's not forget our officers face uncertain and often dangerous situations every day. And their risk to their lives has been even greater in these last few days.' Juan Rodriguez is accused of throwing commercial-grade fireworks at police during a protest on Sunday. Randy Paul Ruiz and Georgina Ravalero have been accused of driving their motorcycle into a line of officers on Sunday. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said that several officers were knocked down and one was injured. Two more people, a man and a woman, were accused of vandalizing a government building. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said of the man who was charged: 'He was literally standing there with a paint roller, a very long stick, and writing graffiti over an area measuring about 18 feet by 12.' Luna said he 'was using beige paint, and the content of the graffiti included profanity directed at a federal agency.' While Hochman said the DA's office will 'fiercely protect' First Amendment rights, 'when that speech crosses over from protected speech into illegal conduct, the people who engage in that illegal conduct will be prosecuted.' The U.S. Attorney's Office has also charged two men, accusing them of throwing Molotov cocktails at police during the LA protests last weekend. McDonnell said on CNN Wednesday evening: 'We work very closely with District Attorney Nathan Hockman. He does give, I think, due consideration to the severity of the crime and wants to hold people accountable. ' He continued: 'It's dicey for our officers out there. But we're gonna stay the course and ensure that Los Angeles is the safe city that the residents deserve it to be.'

Lawyers for man mistakenly deported from US say he should be freed while DOJ pursues new charges
June 11 (Reuters) - Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March and returned on Friday, said their client should be set free while the U.S. Department of Justice pursues new criminal charges against him. The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday had asked a federal judge in Tennessee to detain Abrego Garcia while he is prosecuted on newly-filed charges of transporting illegal immigrants within the United States. The motion filed on Wednesday said Abrego Garcia had already been imprisoned without due process and he posed no danger to the community and no flight risk. 'Mr. Abrego Garcia asks the Court for what he has been denied the past several months – due process,' Abrego Garcia's attorneys wrote in Wednesday's court filing. 'Mr. Abrego Garcia must be released.' Abrego Garcia on March 15 was deported to El Salvador, despite a 2019 immigration court ruling that he should not be sent there because he could be persecuted by gangs, and the incident has become a flashpoint for Republican President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies. The Trump administration has said Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, an accusation his lawyers deny. Trump administration officials have accused the judiciary of interfering with the executive branch's ability to conduct foreign policy, and they portrayed Abrego Garcia's criminal indictment as vindication for their approach to deportations. A grand jury in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 21 indicted him on charges of transporting undocumented migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border to locations around the country. Abrego Garcia remains detained pending his next court hearing on Friday. His lawyer Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg has called the criminal charges "fantastical" and a "kitchen sink" of allegations.

Trump news at a glance: government ‘dragnet' widens as undocumented farm workers targeted in fresh raids
With limited access to immigrants in detention, US attorneys are scrambling to understand the scope of California's immigration raids, and the extent to which the Department of Homeland Security has violated immigrants' rights. Immigration lawyers have said some detainees – including families with small children – were held in a stuffy office basement for days without sufficient food and water. Elsewhere, US immigration officials carried out further 'enforcement activity' in California's agricultural heartland, with one advocacy group saying agents pursued workers through blueberry fields. The raids have sparked ongoing protests in Los Angeles and led to demonstrations in other cities across the country. Here are the key stories: An estimated 255,700 farm workers are undocumented and the raids have been sharply criticized by advocacy groups and local officials, who said they were 'outraged and heartbroken by Ice activities targeting immigrant families'.

Agents told the family they did not have any water to provide during the family's first day in detention; on the second day, all five were given a single bottle to share. The one fan in the room was pointed directly towards a guard, rather than towards the families in confinement, they told lawyers.
