According to an affidavit, demonstrators gathered near the Civic Center, and some allegedly assaulted California Highway Patrol officers and vandalized federal buildings and law enforcement vehicles. Police declared an unlawful assembly as the crowd spilled on to the 101 Freeway.<\/p>\n<p>Essayli said protesters hurled rocks, street signs, and other objects from an overpass.

As federal vehicles departed the scene of a search, Yovany Marcario Canil, 22, allegedly discharged pepper spray into one of the vehicles, striking at least two FBI SWAT members. Marcario Canil is charged with assault on a federal officer, which carries a statutory maximum of eight years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Homeland Security Investigations&rsquo; Los Angeles Special Agent in Charge Eddy Wang said authorities would &ldquo;vigorously protect the rights to free speech and free and peaceful assembly,&rdquo; but &ldquo;will also, without fear or favor, deliver consequences and bring accountability to those criminals that violate federal law.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>FBI Los Angeles Assistant Director in Charge Akil Davis echoed that stance, saying agents &ldquo;should be able to [carry out their duties] without violent interference&rdquo; and urging the public to provide information on unidentified suspects in civil disorder and arson cases, highlighting a reward of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n<p>Essayli said prosecutors to date have charged 97 individuals with assault or impeding federal agents involved in immigration enforcement.
