Federal Grand Jury Indicts Three Women for Stalking and Doxing ICE Agents — Cynthia Raygoza on the Run After Livestreaming Agent Addresses
The safety of federal agents has become a central issue in America’s heated immigration debate, and the latest indictment shows just how dangerous the climate has become. A federal grand jury has indicted three women after they allegedly stalked ICE agents all the way to their homes, broadcasting their personal addresses live on Instagram in a brazen attempt to intimidate law enforcement. This stunning case highlights not just the lengths some activists are willing to go but also the rising risks faced by those tasked with enforcing the nation’s immigration laws.
The three women indicted are Cynthia Raygoza, 37, of Riverside, California; Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado; and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, of Panorama City, California. According to court documents, Raygoza is now on the run, with law enforcement confirming she failed to appear and is considered a fugitive. Her image is being circulated widely by authorities as they ask the public for assistance in locating her. Brown, who has a history with the law after being previously arrested for assaulting a federal officer, is being held without bond. Carmona Samane is also facing charges tied directly to the doxing and stalking incidents.
The case marks a rare escalation in legal action against individuals targeting ICE, but it is not without precedent. A 2023 Department of Justice report revealed an 830 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers since 2021, underscoring just how much the job has changed in recent years. Agents, who once carried out their duties quietly, now face not just street protests but targeted harassment campaigns at their own homes. The indictment specifically highlights the tactic of livestreaming, with prosecutors pointing out that the women’s decision to broadcast the personal details of ICE officers online represented an active attempt to endanger them and their families.
Doxing, the act of publishing private information about individuals without consent, has exploded in the age of social media. A 2022 study published in the Journal of Cybersecurity found a 40 percent global increase in doxing incidents targeting public officials. What was once a tactic limited to online harassment campaigns has now morphed into a physical threat, with activists combining digital exposure with real-world intimidation. In this case, livestreaming an ICE officer’s address to potentially thousands of viewers was viewed by prosecutors as a deliberate effort to provoke danger.
The flight of Cynthia Raygoza adds a dramatic twist. Comparisons are already being made to historic cases, such as Assata Shakur’s 1979 escape and subsequent asylum in Cuba. While there’s no indication Raygoza has fled the country, her disappearance underscores the challenges law enforcement faces when fugitives attempt to evade capture in a world where both digital tools and activist networks can provide cover. Authorities are now urging the public to report any sightings, emphasizing that helping a fugitive carries serious consequences.
For ICE agents, the case is another reminder that their work extends far beyond detaining or deporting illegal immigrants. They are increasingly targets themselves, not only of political criticism but of dangerous actions that cross the line into criminal harassment. The grand jury indictment serves as both a warning and a reassurance: there are consequences for crossing that line, and federal law enforcement will not hesitate to act.
The broader debate over immigration enforcement in America will continue, but this case crystallizes one unavoidable truth: those who enforce the law are entitled to protection, both on duty and at home. While critics argue about policy, there is no justification for stalking or doxing, especially when it threatens families and communities. The indictment of these three women, and the ongoing manhunt for Cynthia Raygoza, is a stark reminder of what happens when activism turns into intimidation.
