   The FBI and IRS issued a crystal clear warning to those funding anti-ICE   
   riots and said there would be "consequences" for "aiding and abetting   
   acts of violence during civil unrest."   
      
   In a video shared on Tuesday on X by the Federal Bureau of   
   Investigations Los Angeles, United States Attorney Bill Essayli, FBI   
   Assistant Director in Charge Akil Davis, and IRS Special Agent in Charge   
   Tyler Hatcher took turns explaining that those who fund rioters that   
   attack law enforcement officers, etc. will be prosecuted to the fullest   
   extent of the law.   
      
   "The right to assemble and protest peacefully is protected by the law,"   
   Essayli said. "Unfortunately, we've seen individuals whose intentions   
   are to cause damage and to assault law enforcement. For example, last   
   week, we arrested an individual who was charged with conspiracy to   
   commit and aiding and abetting civil disorders. These violent agitators   
   put peaceful demonstrators at risk."   
      
   Davis jumped in and said that the FBI and "our federal partners will   
   continue to investigate individuals and organizations who are knowingly   
   funding or committing acts of violence against law enforcement as well   
   as the destruction of property."   
      
   Hatcher said the IRS is currently "tracing money to determine who is   
   providing funding for these riots. Funding crime doesn't just affect the   
   criminals; it also disrupts entire communities. Each dollar funneled   
   into illegal operations fuels violence, undermines law and order, and   
   perpetuates fear. Make no mistake, we will identify financial networks   
   supporting these criminal activities."   
      
   Essayli closed out the video message by stating, "Think before you act.   
   The legal consequences for financing or aiding and abetting these crimes   
   are harsh. They include imprisonment and fines."   
      
   FBI Assistant Director Davis said if you have information about   
   individuals and or organizations who are "providing financial support to   
   commit acts of violence or destruction of property," call 1-800-CALL-FBI   
   or TIPS.FBI.GOV.
