In response to violence against federal officers and property during Saturday’s “No Kings” protest in downtown Los Angeles — where demonstrators threw projectiles at personnel near the U.S. Courthouse and Metropolitan Detention Center — First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli publicly warned on social media that federal agents have begun arresting those who assaulted personnel.
Essayli noted that his office had authorized immediate arrests for such assaults, and that individuals caught on video throwing concrete blocks and other projectiles would be identified, arrested, and charged with federal felonies. Investigations into potential additional federal charges remain ongoing as of Monday.
“Federal agents have started arresting those who assaulted our personnel at the Los Angeles courthouse. To those who were smashing concrete blocks and throwing them at our officers, we have you on video. We will find you and arrest you too. You’ve been warned,” Essayli announced on X.
On Saturday, a confrontation occurred at the U.S. Courthouse and Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles during a chaotic “No Kings” protest against the Trump administration.
