The Feds finally caught up with one of the violent rioters suspected of hurling bricks and rocks at federal vehicles as they exited the Glass House pot farm raid this summer in Camarillo, Calif.
Ten more suspects were arrested and federally charged this week for engaging in violence and civil disorder against law enforcement officers. One of those detained is Isai Carrillo, allegedly seen in the viral video hurling bricks and rocks at the federal vehicles and agents outside the marijuana farm.
Officers with Homeland Security Investigations nabbed Carrillo in a pre-dawn raid in Oxnard, Calif., earlier this week. Federal investigators allege Carrillo is part of a group that helped intentionally block in federal cars and then ambush them.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security shared news of his arrest on social media with footage from FOX News.
If you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the FULLEST extent of the law.

“This violent rioter arrested by HSI was part of an agitator group called VC Defensa – a rapid response network that regularly impedes and obstructs law enforcement,” DHS posted on X. “You will not stop DHS law enforcement from enforcing our immigration laws.
Bill Essayli, acting U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, also announced the federal charges during a press conference Wednesday, Oct. 29.
“Zero tolerance,” Essayli posted on X Wednesday. “During the summer we warned the public that anyone who engages in any violence will eventually be brought to justice. Today we are delivering on that promise and will continue to hold those who violated the law accountable.”

Essayli said, to date, 97 individuals have been charged with assault or impeding federal agents engaged in immigration enforcement operations.
“I want to be very clear, every America has the right to peacefully protest,” Essayli said in a clip from the press conference. “What is not Constitutionally protected is a right to engage in violence or to impede federal agents by assaulting, doxxing or obstructing their operations.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office filed federal charges against 12 defendants in three separate criminal complaints. They are accused of engaging in violence and civil disorder against law enforcement officers and property during immigration enforcement actions in Southern California earlier this year, according to a news release.
Ten of 12 defendants have been arrested and are in federal custody. One defendant is in state custody and is expected to be handed over to federal authorities. One defendant is a fugitive.
In United States v. Reyes, et al., Virginia Reyes, 32, and Isai Carrillo, 31, both of Oxnard, are charged via complaint with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, a felony that is punishable by up to five years in federal prison.
Carrillo, now in custody, is accused of playing a leading role in violently attacking ICE agents during a raid at a pot farm on July 10. Reyes is considered a fugitive.
Essayli, along with Fox News’ Bill Melugin and Matt Finn, also shared details of Carrillo’s arrest on their X accounts. The news outlet exclusively embedded with Homeland Security and captured the pre-dawn raid in southern California.

Carrillo was taken down by agents in a dark alleyway after attempting to flee from authorities, said Eddy Wang, Homeland Security Investigations Los Angeles special agent in charge.
Virginia Reyes, who allegedly trails agents and posts videos, was also wanted at the same address as Carrillo. However, she escaped arrest Wednesday morning and is considered to be a fugitive, Wang said per a Fox News Digital report.
“The actions taken by these suspects and others on July 10th and other related incidents were neither speech nor peaceful,” Wang said. “So let me be clear. We will vigorously protect the rights to free speech and the right to peacefully and freely assemble. But we will also, without fear or favor, deliver consequences and bring accountability to those that would assault, impede or obstruct federal law enforcement officers or destroy government property.”
During the Glass House Farms enforcement operation, protesters, including VC Defensa members, used farm equipment to create a roadblock at the main entrance and exit to the Glass House Farms, according to details from the criminal complaint.
Due to the roadblock, federal law enforcement vehicles used an alternate exit via a dirt service road to leave the location. Government vehicles that exited the Glass House Farms and traveled south on this road were stopped by protestors, including individuals throwing rocks at the vehicles.
VC Defensa members created a chokepoint and ambush of the vehicles. At least 10 individuals acted together to impede and assault federal officers and damage government property.
Reyes allegedly used her vehicle to block U.S. government vehicles from leaving the location while Carrillo and others threw rocks at the government vehicles.
“Specifically, at least two vehicles and several individuals, including one with a bicycle, attempted to block the government vehicles from exiting,” the press release states. “Meanwhile, other individuals threw large rocks at the vehicles. During the incident, at least four government vehicles were damaged and at least one federal contract employee sustained injuries.”
In United States v. Coreas, et al., nine defendants were charged with obstructing, impeding and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder. The complaint details allegations of violence against California Highway Patrol officers in downtown Los Angeles’ Civic Center on June 8.
“The FBI today arrested nine violent agitators in Los Angeles for their roles in a June protest where law enforcement officers were trapped under a bridge and attacked with Molotov cocktails,” FBI Director Kash Patel said, per a Fox News Digital report. “Violence against law enforcement will never be tolerated.”
The defendants charged in the Coreas complaint were filmed and photographed throwing rocks and other objects at officers and the patrol cars positioned under and between the overpasses for Main and Los Angeles streets on the 101 Freeway.
The felony charge carries a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison. The defendants include:
- Ronald Alexis Coreas, 23, of the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles.
- Junior Roldan, 27, of Hollywood.
- Elmore Sylvester Cage, 34, of Downtown Los Angeles.
- Balto Montion, 24, of Watsonville.
- Jesus Gonzalez Hernandez Jr., 22, of Las Vegas.
- Hector Daniel Ramos, 66, of Alhambra.
- Stefano Deong Green, 34, of Westmont.
- Yachua Mauricio Flores, 23, of Lincoln Heights.
- Ismael Vega, 41, of Westlake.
In a third criminal complaint, United States v. Canil, Yovany Marcario Canil, 22, a.k.a. “Geovani Macario,” and “Yovany Canil Canil,” of Boyle Heights, was arrested Tuesday for assault on a federal officer, which carries a statutory maximum sentence of eight years in federal prison.
He is accused of spraying pepper-spray inside a vehicle that was occupied by three members of the FBI’s SWAT team. The agents were on scene June 6 to execute a search warrant at Ambiance Apparel warehouse in the Fashion District of downtown Los Angeles.
“The FBI safeguards civil rights and the right to protest peacefully, but there is no place in a civilized society for violence targeted at law enforcement, nor the destruction of government property,” said Akil Davis, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, in a statement. “Our agents and police partners are carrying out their duties lawfully and should be able to do so without violent interference. I urge anyone with information about these unidentified subjects wanted for civil disorder and arson to come forward to assist us and claim the reward of up to $10,000.”
