Two Los Angeles women have been convicted of stalking a federal immigration agent after following him from his downtown workplace to his home and livestreaming the encounter during last summer’s anti-immigration enforcement protests.

Cynthia Raygoza, 38, and Ashleigh Brown, 38, were found guilty Friday of one count of stalking in connection with the August 28 incident. They were acquitted of a separate charge alleging conspiracy to publish personal information about a federal employee. A third defendant, Sandra Samane, was acquitted of both counts.

The case stems from protests that unfolded in Los Angeles amid heightened tensions over Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. On the day in question, Raygoza and Brown followed ICE agent Rogelio Reyes Huitzilin from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his home, according to testimony presented at trial.

Prosecutors told jurors that the women livestreamed the pursuit on social media, giving directions to the residence and encouraging viewers to share the stream. Clips from the livestream were played during the weeklong trial.

Huitzilin testified that he had been heading home to surprise his wife and two young children when he noticed he was being followed by masked women. Upon arriving at his residence, the women allegedly shouted to bystanders while livestreaming that their “neighbor is ICE” and “la migra lives here.”

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said the women also directed racial slurs at the agent’s wife. According to testimony, the agent’s children witnessed the confrontation.

Huitzilin told jurors that the incident left his family shaken. He said they moved out of their neighborhood following the confrontation, though he acknowledged that he did not sell the property. One of his sons requested to be homeschooled, he testified, and his wife sought therapy in the aftermath.

At the same time, Huitzilin conceded that no additional protesters ever came to his home after that day and that he had not heard from Raygoza or Brown again. No further incidents occurred at the residence.

During the trial, Raygoza and Brown maintained that they believed they were following the agent to an ICE enforcement operation rather than to his private home, according to reporting from The Los Angeles Times. Following immigration agents to enforcement sites has become a common tactic among protesters in cities including Los Angeles, but this case marked what appears to be the first time a federal agent was followed and confronted at his residence, The Times reported.

Essayli characterized the verdict as a necessary boundary between constitutionally protected protest and unlawful intimidation.

“We thank the jury for bringing justice to these agitators who violated the law and endangered the safety of this federal officer and his family,” he said in a statement. “Peaceful protests are protected by the Constitution, political violence and unlawful intimidation are not.”

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have filed more than 100 cases against protesters over allegations of assaulting or hindering immigration agents. While 23 defendants have entered guilty pleas, prosecutors had previously lost every protest-related case that went to trial until Friday’s verdict.

Raygoza and Brown now face up to five years in prison. They are scheduled to be sentenced on June 8.
