A branch of the Democratic Party revealed the location of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Los Angeles and organized protests at hotels housing the federal law enforcement agents, a Daily Wire investigation reveals.

Foothill Community Democrats doxxed the locations of federal law enforcement in multiple posts on Instagram. One post identified six Los Angeles hotels that are reportedly housing ICE agents and encouraged fellow Democrats to call the hotels to demand they kick ICE out.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire the department will prosecute those who dox ICE agents.

“These are thugs. We will prosecute those who dox ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law,” McLaughlin said. “These criminals are taking the side of vicious cartels and human traffickers. We won’t allow it in America.”

Another post from the Foothill Democrats explicitly called on people to protest at a hotel that was housing ICE, using the tagline “No Sleep for ICE.” It said the protest would continue “until the hotel makes them leave.”

One protest organized by the Democratic group at a hotel in Arcadia appeared to have the intended effect. After first advertising the protest to its followers, the Foothill Community Democrats’ Instagram page made another post, this one reading “ICE is out of Arcadia Hilton!”

“We started this protest at 11am and community members kept showing up all day until it reached upwards of 50 dedicated people tonight,” the post read.

Foothill Community Democrats is officially affiliated with the Democratic Party. In order to become a member, one must pay dues through ActBlue, the fundraising arm of the Democratic Party.

“Membership dues fund our efforts to elect Democrats at the local, state, and federal levels and, most importantly, to the White House,” the organization states. The Foothill Community Democrats did not respond to a request for comment.

The group has held events in conjunction with high-profile Democrats, including California Governor Gavin Newsom.

The Democrats’ efforts to doxx ICE agents is one of the latest ways that leftwing agitators have attempted to hinder the operations of federal law enforcement.

The Daily Wire recently revealed that activists teamed up to raise funds for helmets, respirators, and gloves before distributing them to agitators on the “front lines” of the unrest against law enforcement in Los Angeles.

The activist behind the distribution of the supplies told one Instagram user that half-respirator masks — just like those that she purchased for the agitators — could be used to neutralize tear gas used by the police. She even shared one Instagram post with a guide on  “how to make it harder for cops to do their jobs.” The post recommended that activists pick up tear gas canisters and “return to owner,” or throw it back at the police.

The California Democratic Party and Democrat National Committee did not respond to requests for comment.

NASHVILLE — The Justice Department argued Friday that releasing suspected gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia would pose a danger to the public because of his alleged history of violence toward his wife, sexual misconduct toward young girls, and participation in an illegal alien smuggling ring.

Abrego Garica, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who has been incorrectly dubbed a “Maryland man” by the legacy media, appeared in federal court in Nashville on Friday for his arraignment on human smuggling charges and a detention hearing. Wearing a bright red prison suit and listening to proceedings through interpreters, Abrego Garcia pled not guilty in front of a crowd of left-wing supporters who showed up to watch the case play out.

Abrego Garcia faces 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for one count of conspiracy to transport aliens and up to 10 years in prison for each illegal smuggled across the country if found guilty on another count of unlawful transportation of illegal aliens. He was returned to the United States last week after being deported to El Salvador due to suspected ties to MS-13.

After his not guilty plea, Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes heard arguments from the Justice Department and Abrego Garcia’s lawyers on whether or not to release him as his case is litigated. As court ended for the day, she said that she would not give a date for her decision, but that it would be “sooner rather than later.”

Acting United States Attorney for Middle Tennessee Robert McGuire argued that Abrego Garcia should be detained because he was a flight risk and would endanger the community based on testimony and evidence that he had endangered children through his alleged participation in a smuggling ring, ties to violent gangs, and the multiple complaints from his wife about domestic violence.

The crux of the Justice Department’s case relies on a traffic stop in Putnam County, Tennessee, on November 30, 2022, when Abrego Garcia was pulled over driving a Chevrolet suburban with nine others inside. One of those individuals noted his age to be 15 when Tennessee Highway Patrol had each person write their name and age down on a sheet of paper.

Homeland Security special agent Peter Joseph said that the 15-year-old boy was unaccounted for to this day and that they hadn’t tracked him down yet, saying that “we don’t know right now” if he is OK. Joseph added that at least six of the nine individuals being transported have been identified as illegal aliens from a variety of countries including Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras.

Joseph also testified that Abrego Garcia lied to the Tennessee state troopers when he claimed that he was bringing a construction crew from St. Louis to Maryland. According to data gathered through license plate readers, Joseph said that the vehicle hadn’t been in St. Louis in the timeframe Abrego Garcia claimed and that there were no construction tools in the vehicle.

Abrego Garcia also had a history of sexual misconduct toward minors, multiple of his associates told Joseph. Additionally, Joseph said an unidentified girl provided evidence to federal investigators that Abrego Garcia had asked a 15-year-old Maryland girl to send him nude pictures of herself and sent her other messages discussing OnlyFans.

Lawyers for Abrego Garcia referred to these accusations as “slanderous” and said a “flirtatious event” from five years ago shouldn’t impact his detention.

Abrego Garcia’s lawyers, including public defenders Richard Tennant and Dumaka Shabazz, argued that the Justice Department’s case relied too much on hearsay, and they tried to discredit the testimony about his activities given to federal investigators from two men who also face deportation and federal punishment.

The defense did not call any witnesses, but pointed to multiple pieces of evidence, including a 2019 immigration holding that Abrego Garcia should not be deported to his home country of El Salvador because of fears of gang violence. They also included a letter from an immigrant activist group called CASA, which promised to help Abrego Garcia should he be released.

Holmes at times appeared critical of the Justice Department, and suggested that their evidence was dated because it came from 2020-2022. When discussing the orders of protection granted to Abrego Garcia’s wife over fears for her own safety, Holmes asked McGuire whether it would be “equally plausible” that he had a change of heart over the last four years rather than stay the same.

Regardless of her decision, Abrego Garcia will likely not be leaving federal custody anytime soon as ICE is expected to take custody of him if he is released on the smuggling charges.

Before the hearing began, dozens of people gathered outside the courthouse holding signs like “F*** ICE” and “Stop ICE Kidnappings.” By noon, the crowd had largely dispersed as rain ripped through Nashville and the proceedings dragged into late afternoon.
