'No Kings' protests: Tensions rise in LA as crowd hurls concrete, police allege

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted workers on produce farms in Ventura County Tuesday morning in one of the latest raids in Southern California.

The raids come as the federal government ramps up immigration enforcement in Southern California.

Farm workers told ABC Los Angeles station KABC that ICE agents arrived at an Oxnard farm at around 6 a.m. Tuesday.

"We saw a car when we were on the side, the car was coming and ICE was following the car," said one of the workers who asked to remain anonymous.

Video posted online showed ICE agents chasing after some of the workers as they fled the fields.

Workers said they had anxiety about going to work because they feared ICE would show up while they worked.

"What I fear is that sometimes out of necessity, it forces us to show up wherever there's work," said another farmworker. "Because of everything that is happening, it is a bit difficult for us."

It is unclear how many people were detained during the operation.

"They're just taking innocent people who are trying to build their own American Dream," said Daniel Larios with the UFW Foundation. "This is not law enforcement. It's a campaign of fear against people whose only 'crime' is living and working in the U.S."

The mayor of Oxnard, Luis McArthur, said "We have received reports of ICE agents attempting to enter agricultural fields in our city and also stopping vehicles."

Two men are being charged by the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles for possession of an unregistered destructive device for their alleged roles in LA protest violence, federal prosecutors will announce Wednesday.

Emiliano Galvez and Wrackkie Quiogue are both accused of trying to throw Molotov cocktails at police, according to federal prosecutors.

When the LAPD approached Quiogue -- who officials said was armed with a Molotov cocktail at Sunday's protest in downtown LA -- he allegedly "threw the Molotov cocktail into the air and attempted to flee," the complaint said. LAPD officers subdued Quiogue and arrested him, prosecutors said.

Galvez is accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail over a wall toward LA sheriff's deputies who were "engaging in crowd control activities" during a protest in Paramount, a south LA city, on Saturday, federal prosecutors said. Galvez was arrested after a foot chase, officials said.

As the nationwide protests reach Atlanta, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr warned in a statement, "If you engage in violence for the purpose of changing public policy, you can be charged with Domestic Terrorism."

"We will defend the right to peacefully protest," Carr said, adding, "We will not hesitate to bring Domestic Terrorism charges for those who earn it."
