The FBI collared an alleged Los Angeles riot leader who they say helped distribute dozens of face shields to anti-ICE rioters on the streets of Los Angeles.
The FBI nabbed Alejandro Theodoro Orellana on Thursday morning. He faces a charge of conspiracy to commit civil disorders, US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said on X.
“We are moving quickly to identify and arrest those involved in organizing and/or supporting civil disorder in Los Angeles,” said Essayli.
Unsettling footage taken Tuesday showed dozens of protesters running toward a truck to grab the “Bionic Shield” face masks, footage shot by Fox11 showed.
Orellana is accused of driving the truck that delivered the face shields.
