Anti-ICE activists disrupt LA operations, post photos, names and phone numbers of agents
Flyers showing the names, pictures, and phone numbers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have surfaced in a Southern California neighborhood.
Multiple federal law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin that anti-ICE activists, who have been interfering with ICE operations in the Los Angeles area in recent days, have now started putting up posters featuring the personal information of ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers working in the Los Angeles and Southern California area.
The posters, which were written in Spanish, translate roughly to read "CAREFUL WITH THESE FACES."
"These armed agents work in Southern California. ICE and HSI racially terrorize and criminalize entire communities with their policies. They kidnap people from their homes and from the streets, separating families and fracturing communities. Many people have died while locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers," the posters continued.
It is unclear which activist group is putting up these posters, but ICE officials said they are aware and are investigating.
"These pathetic activists are putting targets on the backs of our law enforcement as they shield MS-13, Tren De Aragua and other vicious gangs that traffic women and children, kidnap for ransom and poison Americans with lethal drugs," a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson told Fox News in a statement. "These individuals will be held accountable for obstructing the law and justice. This shouldn't be controversial."
A Los Angeles FBI spokesperson also shared a statement with Fox News warning those who interfere with law enforcement operations could face potential prosecution.
"The FBI safeguards Constitutionally-protected rights, including freedom of speech and assembly. However, any individual who impedes law enforcement operations, potentially threatening the safety of law enforcement agents and subjects of their investigations, is subject to investigation and potential prosecution by the Department of Justice," the spokesperson said.
This comes as anti-immigration activists disrupted a planned multi-agency task force operation involving ICE, Drug Enforcement Administration and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents on Sunday afternoon.
ICE officials said that the operation was part of investigations targeting criminals, and was not a raid.

Anti-ICE protester roasted for homemade tactical suit, including leaf blower: ‘Bad cosplay of a minion'
An animated anti-ICE protester is being mocked online for wearing an eye-catching homemade tactical suit to Los Angeles riots — including a bicycle helmet, goggles and a leaf blower. The unidentified woman was impossible to miss as she was filmed yelling into a megaphone in a bright yellow helmet and clutching the large Ryobi leaf blower. 'This is our city and this was Mexico,' yelled the woman, who said she was 45 years old. 'You can't kick us out of the land that was ours,' she yelled. Asked why she was carrying a leaf blower, she said it was to protect herself from tear gas used by law enforcement — and 'to blow back at those motherf–kers.' The woman arrived at the protest in a helmet, goggles and chest protector. YouTube/Nick Shirley She also brought a leaf blower, which she was said was to blow away tear gas. YouTube/Nick Shirley The woman's makeshift protective fit quickly sparked ridicule online. 'Why is she doing a bad cosplay of a minion from Despicable Me?' a teacher, David Johnson, jabbed in an X post in response to the clip. 'Omg this has to be a satire,' another commented, while someone else asked: 'Is she ready to take on armed forces with a leaf blower?' Another X user joked that if she knows that California was briefly part of Mexico in the 19th century, 'she understands the concept of nations and borders then.' California and Los Angeles were part of Spain before Mexico gained its independence in 1821. Mexico was forced to surrender the land decades later after the US's victory in the Mexican-American War in 1848. Dozens of people in Los Angeles have been arrested since protests erupted on Friday in response to ICE raids. Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew in the city's downtown area on Tuesday night in an attempt to curb the demonstrations, which have seen several cars — including police vehicles — torched by protesters.

The Latest: Federal appeals court to hear arguments in Trump's bid to erase hush money conviction
Federal appellate judges will hear President Donald Trump's quest to erase his criminal conviction on Wednesday — one of the ways he's trying to get last year's hush money verdict overturned. A three-judge panel is set to consider Trump's efforts to get the New York case moved from state court to federal court, where he could then try to have the verdict thrown out on presidential immunity grounds. Billionaire Elon Musk stepped back from his explosive feud with Trump, writing on X that he regrets that some of his posts went 'too far.' An appeals court is allowing Trump tariffs to continue pending court challenges, extending a similar ruling made after another federal court ruled that he overstepped his presidential authority. And the Justice Department says Trump he has the authority to abolish national monuments meant to protect historical and archaeological sites across broad landscapes, including two in California created by his predecessor at the request of Native American tribes. Here's the latest: Trump hails appeals court ruling in favor of his tariffs as a 'great' win for the US Trump commented on the ruling on Wednesday on his social media site, saying, 'A Federal Appeals Court has just ruled that the United States can use TARIFFS to protect itself against other countries. A great and important win for the U.S.,' he wrote. Veterans are divided over the Army's big parade, being held on Trump's birthday Until recently, the Army's long-planned birthday celebration did not include a big parade . Trump's addition, featuring hundreds of military vehicles and aircraft and thousands of soldiers, has divided veterans. Some liken it to the military chest-pounding commonly seen in North Korea, a step toward authoritarianism or a perverse birthday party for Trump. Others see it as a once-in-a-lifetime accounting of the Army's achievements and the military service of millions of soldiers over centuries. The parade is not about Trump, they say, but the public seeing the faces of soldiers when so few Americans serve. The Army expects up to 200,000 people could attend and says the parade will cost an estimated $25 million to $45 million. Trump, speaking at Fort Bragg this week, said Saturday would be 'a big day' and noted 'we want to show off a little bit.' ▶ Read more about veteran reactions to Saturday's parade Appeals court lets Trump administration keep collecting tariffs while challenges continue The decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit extends a similar ruling it made after another federal court struck down the tariffs May 28, saying Trump had overstepped his authority. The case involves 10% tariffs the president imposed on almost every country in April and bigger ones he imposed and then suspended on countries with which the United States runs trade deficits. It also involves tariffs Trump plastered on imports from China, Canada and Mexico to pressure them to do more to stop the illegal flow of immigrants and synthetic opioids across the U.S. border. In declaring the tariffs, Trump had invoked emergency powers under a 1977 law. But a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled he had exceeded his power. The tariffs upended global trade, paralyzed businesses and spooked financial markets. Elon Musk backs off from feud with Trump, saying he regrets social media posts that 'went too far' Early Wednesday morning, he posted 'I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.' Musk's break with a president whom he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect appeared to put an end to his influence in the White House and prompted concerns about effects on his companies. As a major government contractor, Musk's businesses could be particularly vulnerable to retribution, and Trump has already threatened to cut Musk's contracts. Musk earlier deleted a post in which he claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the president's association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein . Meanwhile, other posts that irritated Trump, including ones in which Musk called the spending bill an 'abomination' and claimed credit for Trump's election victory, remained live. On Sunday, Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker that he has no desire to repair their relationship and warned that Musk could face ' serious consequences ' if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming elections. A federal appeals court is set to hear arguments in Trump's bid to erase his hush money conviction Trump's quest to erase his criminal conviction heads to a federal appeals court Wednesday. It's one way he's trying to get last year's hush money verdict overturned. A three-judge panel is set to hear arguments in Trump's long-running fight to get the New York case moved from state court to federal court, where he could then try to have the verdict thrown out on presidential immunity grounds. The Republican is asking the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to intervene after a lower-court judge twice rejected the move. As part of the request, Trump wants the federal appeals court to seize control of the criminal case and then ultimately decide his appeal of the verdict, which is now pending in a state appellate court. The Manhattan district attorney's office, which prosecuted Trump's case, wants it to stay in state court. ▶ Read more about Trump's bid to erase his conviction Error!

Anti-ICE demonstrations expand to Colorado
Demonstrations against federal immigration enforcement are spreading across the country — including in metro Denver. The latest: Activists in Denver and Aurora this week joined a wave of national protests against recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids — and the increasingly militarized response in Los Angeles and beyond. The big picture: The unrest in LA — where President Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines — has become a flashpoint. Cities like New York and Austin, where protests have broken out in solidarity with LA demonstrators, have been met with mass arrests and tear gas. Why it matters: Backlash is growing against the Trump administration's hardline immigration agenda, which has sent shockwaves through Colorado — from large-scale ICE raids to lawsuits targeting Denver's defiance. Zoom in: At least three demonstrations have taken place across metro Denver this week. On Tuesday, an "ICE Out!" protest at the Colorado State Capitol that started peacefully ended with Denver police in tactical gear using smoke and pepper balls to order protesters to disperse on Broadway. Police said 17 arrests were made for vandalism, obstruction and assaulting officers, CPR reports. Protesters on Monday marched to the ICE detention center in Aurora, led by leftist and immigrant rights groups like the Denver Party for Socialism and Liberation and Casa de Paz. The same day, the local SEIU chapter rallied in downtown Denver, standing behind SEIU California president David Huerta, who was arrested in LA Friday, and slamming Gov. Jared Polis for cooperating with ICE. What they're saying: "What is happening in Los Angeles … makes me both furious and proud," state Sen. Julie Gonzales (D-Denver) said at the Denver protest Monday. "There is nothing more patriotic than seeing so many Americans … exercising their First Amendment rights … against unjust enforcement, racial terror and fascist displays of power," she added. State of play: A bill signed into law last month by Polis, a Democrat, explicitly restricts the deployment of military forces from outside Colorado in the state unless the governor permits it. "We have done everything that we can do — but what we have seen is that Donald Trump is willing to overrule local governments and state governments in order to exercise his will," said Gonzales, the bill's lead sponsor. Between the lines: Nearly half of American adults disapprove of the Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard and Marines in response to the LA protests, the latest YouGov polling shows. The other side: In a statement on X, the Colorado Republican Party said Monday that it "stands firmly with President Trump and … law enforcement as they work to restore order in Los Angeles amid the violent riots." "Their commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting our communities is commendable," the party added. What's next: More protests are planned in Colorado as part of a " nationwide day of defiance" in response to Trump's multimillion-dollar military parade in D.C. on Saturday. What we're watching: How demonstrations develop across metro Denver and whether the violent clashes seen between protesters and police in other cities happen here. Activists say they're preparing for that possibility.
