ICE threatens prosecution after 'kill' graffiti at Los Angeles protest

Immigration and Customs Enforcement warned that threats against its agents will face federal prosecution after demonstrators vandalized a federal building in downtown Los Angeles during a 'No Kings' protest. The Saturday rally drew tens of thousands, but escalated into clashes with police, including concrete thrown at federal agents and multiple arrests. Two officers required medical attention after being struck by projectiles.

Thousands gathered in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday for the third major 'No Kings' demonstration, with organizers estimating up to 50,000 attendees at Gloria Molina Grand Park near City Hall. Amid the protests against what organizers call authoritarian policies, an agitator spray-painted 'Kill your local ICE agent' alongside crosshairs on a federal building. ICE responded on social media: 'If you threaten ICE, or their families, you WILL face the full force of federal law. Our courageous men and women face death threats, just like this, every day. Individuals making the threats will be held accountable.'

In June and July 2025, President Donald Trump ordered more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines into Los Angeles to bolster a crackdown linked to intensified ICE raids. A broad coalition of unions, immigrant-rights groups, faith leaders, businesses, suburban residents, and Democratic officials mounted sustained protests and legal challenges, and by the end of July nearly all of the roughly 5,000 troops had withdrawn. California Governor Gavin Newsom later said the deployment was a piece of political theater that had backfired.
