"You're Not The Only One With Guns": Anti-ICE Organizer Issues Viral Threat After US Marshal Wounded In Ramming Incident

Los Angeles schoolteacher and anti-ICE activist Ron Gochez suggested potential violence against ICE agents during a protest. He warned that ICE agents are "not the only ones with guns" in South Central Los Angeles. Gochez stated this was not a call for violence, but a claim that people have the right to defend themselves. His comments followed a shooting involving a U.S. marshal wounded during an ICE operation and a suspect shot after allegedly ramming federal vehicles. Gochez is a founder of the Los Angeles chapter of Unión del Barrio, an activist group known for identifying and exposing ICE activity. The group's Instagram page has become a source for real-time ICE sightings in Los Angeles. Gochez claims his group disrupted an ICE operation after receiving a leak about agent locations. Unión del Barrio advocates for the "liberation of all Raza" and supports self-determination for oppressed people. The organization's ultimate goal appears to be reclaiming indigenous lands throughout the Americas.
