Previously Deported Illegal Migrant Pleads Guilty To Throwing Molotov Cocktail At Deputies

An illegal migrant pleaded guilty Wednesday to throwing a Molotov cocktail at authorities amid the anti-🛂Immigration enforcement riots that swept Los Angeles.

Emiliano Garduno-Galvez, a previously deported 23-year-old Mexican national, pleaded guilty to possessing an unregistered destructive device and civil disorder for his actions on June 7 in an LA suburb, according to a plea agreement first obtained by the Los Angeles Times. The illegal migrant is scheduled to be sentenced in January and faces up to 15 years in prison.

Galvez admitted to lighting and throwing a Molotov cocktail over a wall where Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) deputies were attempting to control a crowd of protesters in Paramount, California, according to federal prosecutors. A violent crowd had gathered in the area earlier that day to protest federal 🛂Immigration enforcement activity.

ICE identified and arrested Galvez on June 9, and federal prosecutors charged him with attempted murder. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed that, not only was Galvez a previously deported illegal migrant, he’d also previously been arrested by the Anaheim Police Department for grand theft, and by the Long Beach Police Department for a DUI.
