Los Angeles officials announced on Tuesday that over 40 individuals have been slapped with new charges stemming from violent riots against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts last month. 

Of the charges, prosecutors pointed to a 17-year-old juvenile accused of attempted murder, two separate instances of protesters allegedly assaulting Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department horses and a man accused of injuring a police officer with a flagpole, LA District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a press release. 

“The large-scale protests may have ended for now, but our work has not,” Hochman said.

The charges come after officials spent weeks battling rioters on the streets of Los Angeles, leading to hundreds of arrests as local, state and federal law enforcement officers looked to tame the chaos stemming from outcry over immigration raids throughout the sanctuary city. 

“We are continuing to review evidence, identify suspects and file charges where the law has been broken,” Hochman said. “I want to thank the team of investigators and prosecutors for their tireless efforts to ensure that those who committed criminal acts under the guise of protest are held accountable.”
