A previously deported Mexican national has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement.

L.A. has experienced several days of turmoil, as rioters ignited cars, hurled bricks and fireworks at police officers and their vehicles, vandalized properties, looted businesses, and broke the windows of the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters in downtown. This unrest follows ICE raids conducted in the city last week.

Emiliano Garduno-Galvez faces attempted murder charges for throwing a Molotov cocktail.

“Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who threatened the lives of federal law enforcement officers by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail during the violent riots in Los Angeles. ICE arrested Garduno-Galvez, and he is now being charged with attempted murder. These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Wednesday statement.

Garduno-Galvez had previously been deported and has a prior criminal record, including a 2024 arrest for grand theft near the Anaheim Police Department and a DUI in Long Beach.
