A man from Los Angeles, who utilized his X account to reveal the identities and locations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), resulting in targeted violence aimed at hindering immigration enforcement actions, has indicated that he may soon face criminal charges.
Jack Quillin has been identified as the purported owner of the “LAScanner” X page, which provided rioters with a real-time map of ICE staging areas and raid targets as they unfolded.
Federal agents were initially assaulted by rioters while executing immigration enforcement operations in the Los Angeles fashion district on Friday night, when a large mob converged on their position and proceeded to attack. The agents were subsequently encircled in a federal building while the Los Angeles Police Department took over two hours to respond.
Coordinated assaults persisted on Saturday, as federal agents faced ongoing attacks while preparing for a raid in the community of Paramount. Several ICE agents sustained injuries when rioters hurled large rocks at moving vehicles, resulting in shattered windshields.
In addition to revealing the locations of federal staging areas and raid targets, the LAScanner account also doxxed individual agents. This included their identities, home addresses, names of family members, and their current hotel accommodations.
