Six men pleaded guilty this week to federal criminal charges for throwing rocks, ignited fireworks, and burning debris at California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers trapped under a downtown freeway overpass during anti-immigration enforcement riots last year, prosecutors announced April 29.
The violence occurred at the Main Street overpass on the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles on June 8, 2025, when rioters targeted law enforcement officers during protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.
