Angelica Guerrero, 35, was charged with misdemeanors for assaulting a federal officer and damaging federal property after allegedly slashing tires on an unmarked ICE van during an Aug. 20 protest in San Francisco. The criminal complaint alleges Guerrero made repeated threats to an officer, including explicit threats to harm the officer and his family and threats to stab, and that agents seized a knife. A federal agent pepper-sprayed Guerrero during the incident. The protest was one of many opposing ICE enforcement and detention practices. Guerrero said she was detained overnight in Santa Rita Jail, describing holding cells as covered in feces and blood; she was released and is due in court Sept. 8.
SAN FRANCISCO Federal prosecutors have charged a woman with slashing an ICE van's tires during a protest outside the Equitable Life Building here. Angelica Guerrero, 35, was charged with assaulting a federal officer and damaging federal property, both misdemeanors. The criminal complaint alleges that on the morning of Aug. 20, Guerrero approached an unmarked Chevrolet van being used in an ongoing enforcement and removal operation by the Department of Homeland Security on the 100 block of Montgomery Street.
Guerrero allegedly slashed the van's tires and made repeated threats against one of the officers, including stating, I'm going to (expletive) you up and I'm going after your family, as well as threatening to stab the officer, according to the criminal complaint. Agents who arrested Guerrero say they seized a knife, the complaint alleges. A federal agent pepper-sprayed Guerrero during the incident, the complaint says.
In an interview with ABC7, Guerrero said she was detained for a day in Santa Rita Jail, and spent time in a holding cell that was covered in feces and blood. Court records say Guerrero was released from jail on Thursday and is next due in court on Sept. 8. Those holding cells in Santa Rita Jail are barbaric, Guerrero told ABC7.
