Summary
37 months in federal prison and $253,415 in restitution were imposed on Ismael Vega, 42, for attacking law enforcement during the June 8, 2025 anti-ICE riot in downtown Los Angeles.
Court records said Vega helped ignite debris on the Main Street overpass, dropped a burning piece of cardboard onto a CHP cruiser below, and threw rocks at officers trapped beneath Highway 101.
Vega pleaded guilty in April to obstructing, impeding and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder, admitting the attack created a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
Seven people were charged in the overpass attack, and Vega is the fifth sentenced; Yachua Mauricio Flores is due to be sentenced Aug. 3, while Adam Charles Palermo faces sentencing Dec. 14 and up to 20 years.
