District Attorney Hochman Announces Charges Tied to Immigration Protests
 Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman announced that 30 people have been charged with a variety of criminal offenses such as assaulting police officers, using a destructive device to cause injury, and looting during the immigration protests in Downtown Los Angeles over the past two weeks.
“While we will always defend the right to peacefully protest, we will not disregard criminal behavior that puts the lives of officers and others at risk or compromises public safety,” District Attorney Hochman said. “There is a clear and distinct line between lawful expression and unlawful conduct. Our job as prosecutors is to ensure those who engage in violence and destruction are held accountable for their actions.”

 Honoring Juneteenth
 On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the last of the enslaved people in the United States were finally freed in Galveston, Texas. We celebrate the true emancipation of Black Americans as a lasting symbol of resilience, liberation, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. At the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, we remain committed to equity, accountability, and justice for all — honoring the legacy of those whose freedom was long overdue and the people who fought for it.
