LOS ANGELES — A Mexican national pleaded guilty Wednesday to possessing a Molotov cocktail during a June 7 protest in Paramount stemming from federal immigration enforcement operations.
Emiliano Garduno Galvez, 23, an undocumented immigrant living in Paramount, entered a plea in Los Angeles federal court to possession of an unregistered destructive device and civil disorder.
Sentencing was scheduled for Jan. 30, at which time Galvez could face up to 15 years in federal prison, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
An affidavit filed with the complaint charging Galvez states that he lit and threw a Molotov cocktail over a wall where Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies were engaging in crowd control activities — then ran away.
A crowd had assembled in the location earlier in the day near a staging area for federal agents who were preparing for immigration enforcement operations, prosecutors said.
