In a neighborhood in Southern California, flyers have appeared displaying the names, photos, and contact details of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
According to several federal law enforcement sources who spoke to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, individuals opposed to ICE, who have been disrupting ICE activities in Los Angeles recently, are now distributing posters containing personal information about ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers working in the Southern California region.
The posters, which were written in Spanish, translate roughly to read “CAREFUL WITH THESE FACES.”
“These armed agents operate in Southern California. ICE and HSI engage in racial discrimination and criminalization of entire communities through their practices. They take people from their homes and the streets, tearing families apart and damaging communities. Too many individuals have lost their lives while in custody in jails, prisons, and detention facilities,” the posters stated.

A Los Angeles FBI spokesperson also shared a statement with Fox News warning those who interfere with law enforcement operations could face potential prosecution.Â
“The FBI safeguards Constitutionally-protected rights, including freedom of speech and assembly. However, any individual who impedes law enforcement operations, potentially threatening the safety of law enforcement agents and subjects of their investigations, is subject to investigation and potential prosecution by the Department of Justice,” the spokesperson said.Â
This comes as anti-immigration activists disrupted a planned multi-agency task force operation involving ICE, Drug Enforcement Administration and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents on Sunday afternoon.
ICE officials said that the operation was part of investigations targeting criminals, and was not a raid.
