ICE busts during LA riots includes child molesters, killers and Molotov cocktail menace as DHS rips protesters ‘fighting to protect' criminals
The Trump administration on Wednesday paraded a rogues' gallery of criminal migrants that are being backed by violent anti-ICE rioters in Los Angeles — including child molesters, murders and drug dealers. One of the worst illegal immigrant offenders, Emiliano Garduno-Galvez, was busted during Saturday's unrest and charged with attempted murder for allegedly hurling a Molotov cocktail at LA County sheriff's deputies. Garduno-Galvez had already been deported from the US once, and arrested twice last year. But he was on the loose because California's sanctuary laws meant ICE detention orders were ignored by local cops, according to the Department of Homeland Security. 6 On June 9, 2025, ICE agents in Los Angeles arrested Emiliano Garduno-Galvez an illegal alien from Mexico for attempted murder after he threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during the Los Angeles riots. @PressSec / X 'These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect,' said DHS Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. 'The Los Angeles rioters will not stop us or slow us down.' At least 330 illegal immigrants have been arrested in the LA are raids so far, according to the White House In addition to Garduno-Galvez, ICE highlighted nine other criminals — including killers and child molesters — whom agents had picked up this week — in spite of the protests that have raged around downtown every day. Among the arrests was Gerardo Antonio-Palacios, a Mexican national with prior convictions for homicide and burglary. He was also previously deported. Mab Khleb, a 53-year-old from Cambodia, was convicted of drug activity, battery and lewd action with a child. 6 Protesters move through downtown during continuing protests following raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that began last Friday, on June 10, 2025, in Los Angeles, California.

Others arrested have previous convictions for drug dealing, assault, money laundering, human smuggling and burglary, with most hailing from Honduras or Mexico. They were just the latest round of illegal immigrants with alarming criminal backgrounds who have been pulled off the streets of LA and southern California by ICE raids. Other scary suspects who were previously arrested, included convicted mass shooter Cuong Chanh Phan — a 49-year-old who shot up a high school graduation party in 1994, leaving two teens dead, along with 55-year-old Rolando Veneracion-Enriquez, a Filipino who was convicted of attempted rape. 6 Police and California National Guard stand outside the Los Angeles federal building with full gear. / MEGA Armando Ordaz, 44, was also arrested and has a conviction for sexual battery, while 55-year-old Lionel Sanchez-Laguna was arrested with convictions to his name for willful cruelty to a child and other violent charges. Garduno-Galvez, the alleged bomb-thrower, was seen masked and hooded, prowling behind a tree near fellow protesters and casing out the approaching police line with a mysterious bottle at his feet, according to video released by ICE. At one point he menacingly flicked a lighter and stared at the flame to make sure it was working, the footage shows. 6 Homeland Security Arrests pictured from left to right: Emiliano Garduno-Galvezâ, Jose Jimenez-Alvarado, Sang Louangprasert, Antonio Benitez-Ugarte, Alberto Morales-Mejia, Raul Teran-Guillen,, Carlos Alberto Escobar-Flores, Mab Khleb. x/DHSgo He was quickly captured after the alleged bombing and charged with attempted murder. But not only has he been deported before, but LA officials previously ignored ICE detainers requesting he be handed over after he was arrested twice last year for a DUI and for grand theft, a DHS official told The Post. LA's anti-ICE protests entered their sixth day Wednesday and even began cropping up in other cities across the country — but the agency remained undeterred throughout the week and continued rounding up illegal immigrants, including several others with alarming criminal histories arrested on Monday and Tuesday alone. Even as the alarming background of the criminals ICE has removed from the California community has become clearer, the protests have carried on. 6 At least 330 illegal immigrants have been arrested in the LA are raids so far, according to the White House. Department of Homeland Security LA instated an 8 p.m. curfew Tuesday in an attempt to reign in the nighttime looting that's left shopping districts shattered, but that resulted in nearly 200 arrests after some crowds refused to obey and tried to evade police instead. One group that amassed downtown was eventually broken up by mounted cops, but wound up regrouping elsewhere where they shot off fireworks and blocked traffic. At least 14 people have been hit with federal crimes over the protests. 6 Anti-Ice Protests continue on June 10, 2025. Amy Katz/ZUMA Press / Among them was 27-year-old Californian Wrackkie Quiogue, who was also arrested allegedly carrying a Molotov cocktail during the protests and could face 10 years in prison for it, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. Others include 32-year-old Christian Andres Garcia and 43-year-old Rene Luna, who are charged with assaulting a federal officer and could face one year in prison. Protests were sparked Friday after ICE began raiding illegal immigrant work hubs like Home Depot parking lots across LA. As word of the arrests spread, activists began trying to head-off the federal agents and block their efforts. Groups eventually descended on a downtown detention center where detainees were being held before the protests erupted into riots in parts of the city, with looting taking hold by night. President Trump eventually dispatched thousands of National Guard troops to quell the chaos, and supplemented them with about 700 Marines on Monday.

The protests, however, quickly turned violent as rioters began burning cars, shutting down highways and looting storefronts.
