АНУ-ын холбооны шүүх цагаачлалын бодлогыг эсэргүүцсэн жагсаалын үеэр хууль сахиулах байгууллагын ажилтнууд руу халдсан Лос-Анжелес хотын оршин суугчид ял оногдууллаа.
АНУ-ын дүүргийн шүүгч Жон Ф.Уолтер 42 настай Исмаэль Вегаг иргэний эмх замбараагүй байдлын үеэр хууль сахиулагчдын үйл ажиллагаанд саад учруулсан хэргээр гурван жил нэг сарын хугацаатай хорих ялаар шийтгэв. Түүнчлэн шүүхээс Вегад 253,415 ам.долларын нөхөн төлбөр төлөх шийдвэр гаргажээ. Тэрээр дөрөвдүгээр сард гэм буруугаа хүлээн зөвшөөрч, мэдүүлэг өгсөн байна.
Шүүхийн баримтаас үзэхэд, 2025 оны зургаадугаар сарын 8-ны орой Лос-Анжелес хотын хурдны замын гүүрэн дээр болсон жагсаалын үеэр Вега болон бусад оролцогчид цагдаагийн алба хаагчид руу чулуу болон асаасан хог хаягдал шиджээ. Тухайн үед цагдаагийн алба хаагчид гүүрэн доор гацсан байсан бөгөөд Вега тэднийг аюулд орсныг мэдсээр байж ийм үйлдэл хийснээ хүлээн зөвшөөрсөн байна.
Прокурорын зүгээс энэхүү үйлдлийг хууль сахиулагчдын амь насанд ноцтой аюул учруулсан, урьд өмнө гарч байгаагүй хүчирхийллийн хэлбэр гэж тодорхойлжээ. Энэ хэрэгт холбогдуулан нийт таван хүнд ял оногдуулаад байгаа бөгөөд бусад оролцогчдын шүүх хурал ирэх саруудад үргэлжлэхээр товлогдсон байна.

A Los Angeles man has been sentenced to more than three years in federal prison for throwing rocks and burning debris at California Highway Patrol officers trapped beneath a downtown freeway overpass during an anti-immigration enforcement protest, federal prosecutors announced.
Ismael Vega, 42, of the Westlake neighborhood, was sentenced Monday to three years and one month in prison by U.S. District Judge John F. Walter. The judge also ordered him to pay $253,415 in restitution.
Vega pleaded guilty in April to one count of obstructing, impeding and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder.
According to court records, Vega was among a large group of protesters gathered on the Main Street overpass above the Hollywood (101) Freeway on the evening of June 8, 2025, two days after violence erupted during protests against federal immigration enforcement.

Prosecutors said protesters set cardboard, vegetation and fireworks on fire before throwing the burning debris over the overpass railing toward a CHP vehicle parked near officers trapped below.
In his plea agreement, Vega admitted he knew officers were underneath the overpass and acknowledged that throwing rocks and ignited debris created a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
He also admitted throwing rocks at officers as they worked to clear the overpass, acknowledging he intended to obstruct and interfere with law enforcement carrying out their duties.

In a sentencing memo, prosecutors said the violence was unlike anything many officers had experienced.

“This civil disorder stood apart in its magnitude,” prosecutors wrote, noting that a CHP sergeant with nearly 30 years of law enforcement experience described the lasting impact the incident had on both him and his son.
Vega is the fifth defendant to be sentenced in the case.
Co-defendant Yachua Mauricio Flores, 23, of Lincoln Heights, is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 3 and faces up to five years in prison. The lead defendant, Adam Charles Palermo, 40, of Rampart Village, is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 14 and faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
