Federal Grand Jury Charges Three Women with Following ICE Agent Home from Work and Livestreaming His Home Address on Instagram

LOS ANGELES - A federal grand jury has returned a two-count indictment charging three women - two from Southern California and one from Colorado - with following a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent home, livestreaming their pursuit and then posting the victim's home address on Instagram, the Justice Department announced today.

The grand jury on Tuesday and unsealed today charged following defendants with one count of conspiracy and one count of publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent:

• Cynthia Raygoza, 37, of Riverside;
• Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado; and
• Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, of Panaroma City.

Brown and Samane have been arrested on federal criminal complaints. Brown, who also is charged in a separate case with assault on a federal officer, is in federal custody without bond. Samane is free on $5,000 bond. Their arraignments are scheduled for September 30 and October 9, respectively. Law enforcement is continuing its search for Raygoza.

"Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe," said Acting United States Attorney Bill Essayli. "The conduct of these defendants are deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox, or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time."

According to the indictment, on August 28, 2025, the defendants followed the victim - an ICE agent - from the Civic Center in downtown Los Angeles to his personal residence. The defendants livestreamed on their Instagram accounts their pursuit of the victim and provided directions as they followed the victim home, encouraging their viewers to share the livestream. Their Instagram accounts used to livestream the event were "ice_out_of_la," "defendmesoamericanculture," and "corn_maiden_design."

Upon arriving at the victim's personal residence, the defendants shouted to bystanders while livestreaming on Instagram that their "neighbor is ICE," "la migra lives here," and "ICE lives on your street and you should know."

The defendants publicly disclosed on Instagram the victim's home address and told viewers, "Come on down."

An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.

If convicted, the defendants would face a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison for each count.

Homeland Security Investigations is investigating this matter.

Assistant United States Attorneys Thi Hoang Ho and Neil P. Thakor of the General Crimes Section are prosecuting this case.
