A man who pleaded guilty to throwing pieces of cinder block at Border Patrol agents during a protest last summer in Paramount has been sentenced, federal officials announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Jacob Daniel Terrazas, 31, of Paramount, was handed 10 months in federal prison and ordered to pay a $100 fine after pleading guilty in January to one misdemeanor count of simple assault on a federal officer, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.<\/p>\n
The protest took place near a Homeland Security Investigations facility on June 7, 2025, according to Terrazas’ plea agreement. During that demonstration, Terrazas and others threw chunks of a broken cinder block at Border Patrol agents, who were there to protect federal officials and property, the DOJ said. <\/p>\n
Officials said one of the pieces hit an agent in the shin, which caused bruising and bleeding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were clear that if you attack federal agents you will be facing time in federal prison,\u201d First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a news release. \u201cThis sentence delivers on that promise to hold those accountable who dare to interfere or attack federal agents. Don\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man who pleaded guilty to throwing pieces of cinder block at Border Patrol agents during a protest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[3552,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-408840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-crime-and-courts","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
