Authorities told Fox News that the suspect lives with his parents after being arrested in anti-Israel protests at the University of California, Irving and campus last year.
He is accused of posting flyers in various Southern California communities and the names, photos, phone numbers and locations of ICE officials working in the area.

“Men and women on the ice signed up for law enforcement, and that's what they're doing. They're there to make the community safer,” agency ice company Todd Lyons told Fox News. “I accept it personally because if you have problems with men and women on the ice, accept it in Congress, change federal law, or, you know, accept it with me. I represent them, but don't put family members in danger. Don't put them in danger just because they're doing their work there.”
Earlier this year, anti-ice activists began publishing personal information from ICE and Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) officials working in the Los Angeles and Southern California areas.
The poster says in Spanish: “Be careful of these faces.”

“These armed agents work in Southern California. Ice and HSI race intimidate and criminalize the entire community. Their policies criminalize the entire community. They kidnapped people from their homes and the streets, separating the family and the divisive community. Many died while being held in prisons, prisons and detention centers.”
The posters are displayed after the Trump administration began arresting and deporting criminal illegal immigrants, a major sign of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

“These pathetic activists, with the support of our law enforcement, put their goals on the back of our law enforcement officers as they told Fox News in a statement at the time.
“These people will be held accountable for obstructing the law and justice. This should not be controversial.”
