Bobby Nunez, a tow truck driver in Los Angeles, is under arrest for towing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle during an enforcement operation in mid-August. Bill Essayli, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, announced his arrest Monday morning for theft of government property. Nunez is facing up to ten years in federal prison.
How it started vs. How it’s going
ARRESTED: Bobby Nunez is now under arrest for brazenly towing an ICE vehicle. He is charged with theft of government property.
Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations. Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice. Nunez is looking at up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted.

ICE agents were arresting Tatiana Martinez, an illegal immigrant and influencer, when Nunez decided to tow their vehicle. Martinez had built a following by warning her supporters, and other illegal immigrants, about ICE activity and helping to direct protests to disrupt their active operations.
Fox News' Bill Melugin retweeted Bill Essayli's X post, noting that Nunez was laughing as he recorded agents chasing him as he towed their vehicle, a vehicle that still contained the keys and a firearm locked in a safe.
NEW: According to the criminal complaint, which was signed off on by a federal judge, Nunez was laughing and recording the ICE agents on his phone while he towed their vehicle away in LA , which had the keys and a weapon in a gun safe inside. HSI used TikTok to track him down. https://t.co/I09b0VRKs3 — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) September 2, 2025

ENJOY FEDERAL PRISON, Mr. Nunez!!
BRILLIANT!!
I had to read the article. At first, I thought it was referring to an internal combustion engine (also ICE) vehicle.
Possibly grabbed his cellphone 📱 IMEI
and did cell tower 🗼🗼🗼 triangulation?
(haven’t seen the whole story yet...)
Fantastic !!!! Give him the max!!!
10 years. Is that all?
Two modern things I hate and they are BOTH here…
1. Teasers “Guess What Happened Next.”
2. “How it started vs. How it’s going” — it was cute the first two times ten years ago, but it’s well past it’s sell by date.
Make that three things…
3. “Well past it’s sell by date.” Ugh. Who keeps using that hackneyed phrase?
He FA’d.
Now he FO’d..................
Is there a separate charge for the theft of a government firearm? I would think so.
See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.
😂😂😂😂😂
FAFO, you assh@le!
I’d heard about that Martinez character. She’s a POS, so this is a twofer
Future jailhouse conversation:
“Hey, Bubba, what are you in for?”
- manslaughter
“Yo, Joe, what are you in for?”
- home invasion and torture
“Hey Nunez, what are you in for?”
- towing a Federal vehicle
Local authorities have absolutely no jurisdiction over federal property.
These mental midgets don’t think ICE or any other agency knows how to use social media. The “resistance” thinks they are slick posting their criminal intent and activities. It’s amusing. Antifa does the same thing but Fedgov doesn’t seem to be interested in the domestic terrorist organization.
Always a good first step.
