WASHINGTON — A mob of rioters ambushed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in San Francisco, with one knife-wielding, keffiyeh-clad agitator threatening to “stab” one of the feds and “go after” his family, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday.
Adrian Guerrero was charged with assaulting an officer and destruction of property over the alleged Wednesday attack on ICE officers in the Enforcement Removal Operations division, federal prosecutors said.
“I’m going to f–k you up,” Guerrero seethed while allegedly wielding a black knife and wearing what appeared to be a black-and-white checkered keffiyeh headscarf and orange-tinted goggles, according to photos in the complaint filed by the Department of Homeland Security.
He also screamed that he was “going to go after your family” and “going to stab you,” during the melee on Montgomery Street in San Francisco.
Earlier that morning, Guerrero also allegedly slashed a tire on a white Chevrolet with DHS and official government markings. He was later arrested.
The knife-wielding menace was among a crowd of around 15 anti-ICE rioters who used pepper spray and socked officers in the ambush, DHS reps revealed Friday.
US Federal Protective Services and members of the San Francisco Police Department later appeared to clear the area of the mob, in coordination with ICE officers.
“Our brave ICE law enforcement are now facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them as they risk their lives to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.
These acts of violence are fueled by sanctuary politicians’ rhetoric vilifying our law enforcement,” he added. “We will not and have not let this violence stop us or slow us down.
“Everyday our law enforcement continues to enforce the law and arrest the most depraved criminals including pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, gang members, and sexual predators.”
The charges for the anti-ICE rioter come amid a spate of similar armed assaults on the feds enforcing President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
In July, at least ten armed assailants descended on an ICE detention center near Dallas wearing military-style gear and tactical vests and opened fire on federal agents and a local cop.
All of the suspects were later charged with attempted murder.
