Jose Francisco Jovel, 54, is charged with throwing two Molotov cocktails into our downtown Los Angeles Federal Building. This building houses our U.S. Attorney's Office, ICE, and is where illegal immigrants are processed. Jovel was targeting our immigration enforcement operations and wanted to send a political message. Thankfully, the devices did not ignite and no one was injured. Jovel was immediately arrested. Federal officers seized Jovel's belongings and discovered five other Molotov cocktails. Jovel is charged with attempted malicious damage of federal property, and faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison and up to 20 years' imprisonment. This is an ongoing investigation and we'll be looking at adding additional charges. This case exemplifies how misleading and hateful rhetoric against federal law enforcement can and does result in violence. Irresponsible rhetoric by politicians and activists have real-world consequences. It must stop.

Former Olympic athlete Ryan Wedding and his gang of criminals – including a Canadian lawyer, a Latin pop star, and a professional poker player – are charged in connection with the murder of a witness against Wedding cocaine-trafficking ring on January 31 in Colombia.   So far, 11 defendants, including the lawyer, are in custody for this heinous, brutal attack. I commend our national and international law enforcement partners with making this week’s arrests possible.   Wedding remains on the @FBI Most Wanted Fugitives List, but we are actively and aggressively seeking his arrest and look forward to the day he sees the inside of a prison cell in the United States of America when he finally answers for what he has done.

How did you pass the bar exam? Voters cannot save the California legislature from a constitutional violation. Texas did not use race to draw congressional districts, CA did. Sacramento politicians admitted they used race to draw a new Latino majority district. That’s a clear violation of the Equal Protection Clause.
