Cynthia Raygoza, 38, and Ashleigh Brown, 38, were found guilty Friday following the incident that took place amid anti-immigration enforcement protests in August.
On August 28, Raygoza and Brown followed the agent from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his home, live-streaming the incident on social media and providing directions to the address, their trial was told.
They also encouraged viewers to share the stream with others, according to First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, with clips of the stream being played at the trial.
The agent, identified during the trial as Rogelio Reyes Huitzilin, told jurors that he had been headed home to meet up with his wife and two young children for a “surprise” when he noticed the women wearing masks, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Upon arriving at the victim’s residence, shouted to bystanders while livestreaming that their “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.”
According to Essayli they also shouted racial slurs at the agent’s wife and his children had witnessed the incident.
