Authorities have released of the name of the suspect accused of throwing Molotov cocktails into a federal building, adding that they believe he was “motivated by anti-immigration enforcement sentiment.”
The incident occurred on Monday, with the suspect identified as 54-year-old Jose Francisco Jovel. Authorities have released images showing the moment Jovel allegedly carried out his act.
Bill Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said in a statement that the building he targeted “houses our U.S. Attorney’s Office, ICE, and is where illegal immigrants are processed.”
“Jovel was targeting our immigration enforcement operations and wanted to send a political message,” he said.
“Thankfully, the devices did not ignite and no one was injured. Jovel was immediately arrested. Federal officers seized Jovel’s belongings and discovered five other Molotov cocktails,” Essayli, said, adding that Jovel is charged with “attempted malicious damage of federal property, and faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison and up to 20 years’ imprisonment. This is an ongoing investigation and we’ll be looking at adding additional charges.”

Oh it gets better. He attacked a building where they were processing and holding illegals. He could have killed them all if it had burned down.

‘Wanted to Blow Up’ Facility ‘to Send a Political Message’ I believe that would be the definition of terrorism. Federal crime, not State. Welcome to Leavenworth or maybe Gitmo.

Yes. When he hopefully goes to prison he will know where his next meal is coming from. Every day.

Maybe it was a blank Molotov cocktail. Filled with water.

The propaganda being spread against Ice has been quite effective. The Drug Cartels use the best that money can buy to shape the propaganda machine. Those involved in the Narco marketing by the Industrial Drug Complex are making $billions and they don't want Ice to throw a wrench into their drug running and pushing. Just understand, that it is all about the prostitution, the drugs to keep the prostitutes in line, and the drug gangs to fulfill the market. Those in control of this system will line the pockets, provide the women; and torture and kill anyone that gets in the way. In all cases, follow the money. Always, follow the money!
