A federal grand jury in Los Angeles has indicted three women on charges of conspiracy and publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent. The indictment alleges that Cynthia Raygoza, 37, of Riverside; Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado; and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, of Panorama City followed a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent from his workplace to his home. The Justice Department announced the charges were returned Tuesday and unsealed Friday.
According to court documents, on August 28, 2025, the defendants livestreamed their pursuit on Instagram while following the ICE agent from downtown Los Angeles to his residence. The livestream was broadcast using Instagram accounts “ice_out_of_la,” “defendmesoamericanculture,” and “corn_maiden_design.” Upon arrival at the agent’s home, the indictment states that they shouted statements such as “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know” while continuing to stream live video. They also allegedly disclosed the agent’s address online and encouraged viewers to come to the location.
Ashleigh Brown is currently in federal custody without bond due to an additional charge in a separate case involving assault on a federal officer. Sandra Carmona Samane has been released on $5,000 bond. Their arraignments are scheduled for September 30 and October 9 respectively. Authorities are still searching for Cynthia Raygoza.
Acting United States Attorney Bill Essayli commented on the case: “Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe. The conduct of these defendants are deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox, or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time.”
The indictment notes that all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. If convicted, each could face up to five years in federal prison per count.
Homeland Security Investigations is handling the investigation into this matter. Assistant United States Attorneys Thi Hoang Ho and Neil P. Thakor are prosecuting the case.
