Anti-ICE Activists Found Guilty of Livestream Stalking Federal Agents: A Landmark Conviction

Two women have been found guilty by a federal jury in California for stalking a federal immigration agent, whom they followed to his home while streaming the incident live online.

Cynthia Raygoza from Riverside and Ashleigh Brown from Colorado, both aged 38, were convicted last week of stalking a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer.

The incident occurred on August 28, 2025, when the duo trailed the officer from a federal building located in downtown Los Angeles to his residence. During this time, they broadcasted the pursuit on Instagram and shared directions to his home with their audience, according to federal prosecutors.

Raygoza and Brown actively encouraged their viewers to share the livestream, further amplifying the situation.

They further encouraged their followers to share the livestream. 

Upon arriving at the house, the pair shouted at bystanders that their “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.”

They also shouted racial slurs at the ICE officer’s wife, authorities said. The ICE officer’s children witnessed the harassment, prosecutors said. 

The increased traffic from onlookers in the ensuing weeks caused the victim and his family to relocate to a different county, the Justice Department said.

The move disrupted the education of the officer’s children. His 3-year-old son, who has a disability, lost several social and health care benefits that were tied to Los Angeles County, DOJ said. 

Raygoza and Brown were found guilty of one count of stalking, for which they face up to five years in prison.

The jury found the pair not guilty, however, of one count of conspiracy to publicly disclose the personal information of a federal agent. The jury also acquitted Samane Sandra Carmona, 25, of Panorama City, of both charges she faced: conspiracy and stalking.

Raygoza and Brown are scheduled to be sentenced on June 8.
