Feds nab anti-ICE activists in sweeping pre-dawn LA raid
EXCLUSIVE – Federal authorities on Wednesday arrested an anti-ICE protester who allegedly damaged a vehicle belonging to immigration agents during a pot farm raid over the summer near Los Angeles.
Fox News was exclusively embedded with Homeland Security during the pre-dawn arrest of Isai Carrillo, who was taken down by agents in a dark alleyway.
The pre-dawn raid targeted two anti-ICE activists who federal authorities say played a lead role in the disturbing, viral video that shows activists bottlenecking immigration agent’s cars and then violently smashing-in their windows during a notable pot farm raid in Camarillo, Calif., over the summer.
Carrillo was captured on video dramatically smashing in federal agents’ windows on the pot farm. A female, a known anti-ICE “agitator” who allegedly trails agents and posts videos, was also wanted at the same address as Carrillo.
However, she escaped arrest Wednesday morning and is potentially going to be named a fugitive, authorities said.
Wednesday’s arrests were part of a broader, sweeping take down across Los Angeles of suspects wanted for allegedly engaging in violence against law enforcement during this summer’s chaotic protests across the city.

Around 10 arrests are expected to be announced, Fox News has learned.
The raids allegedly associated with Carrillo happened in July when federal authorities targeted Glass House Farms in Camarillo and another site in Carpinteria.
More than 300 people were arrested, and one farmworker died after falling from a greenhouse roof. In addition, 14 minor immigrant children were found on the properties, authorities said.
The raids were part of the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration enforcement operations.
After the raids, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott tweeted that the farm was “now under investigation for child labor violations.”
