Two women—one from California and the other from Colorado—were found guilty by a jury of felony stalking for following a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation officer to her home and livestreaming their pursuit on social media.
Cynthia Raygoza, 38, from Riverside, California, and Ashleigh Brown, 38, from Aurora, Colorado, were convicted late Friday on one count of stalking.
“Justice has been served against two agitators who stalked a federal employee, livestreamed it on social media, and traumatized both the victim and his family,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. “Our Constitution protects peaceful protest – not political violence and unlawful intimidation.”
In a four-day trial, evidence was presented showing that on August 28, 2025, the defendants, dressed in black and wearing masks to conceal their identities, followed the victim from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his home. The victim was on his way back to his family for an outing that included a surprise for his sons, who were ages three and seven.
The defendants livestreamed their pursuit on their Instagram accounts, giving directions as they tracked the victim’s route and urging their viewers to share the livestream. The Instagram accounts used for the livestream were “ice_out_of_la,” “defendmesoamericanculture,” and “corn_maiden_design.”
