Fox News informed viewers of federal agents arresting left-wing rioters who attacked immigration agents and threw rocks and molotov cocktails in California in incidents which were mostly ignored or downplayed at the time by MSNBC.

JOHN ROBERTS: We're about the hear from the feds in California any moment now following a dramatic pre-dawn raid caught exclusively by Fox News. It ended with the arrest of an ICE activist --one who was accused of smashing the windows of immigration agents' vehicles -- look at that -- earlier this year during an ICE raid on a Southern California pot farm. Our correspondent, Matt Finn, has got exclusive live details on this. He's in Camarillo, California, for us. Matt?
MATT FINN: Hey, John, you may recall there was a pretty notable immigration raid on a pot farm here in Camarillo earlier this summer. Some pretty disturbing viral video out of that. Suspects throwing rocks and objects at federal agents' cars as they exited their immigration raid that included hundreds of arrests. That was back in July. Well, this morning, we were exclusively on hand in a pre-dawn sting as HSI arrested a guy in a dark alleyway. They say Isai Carillo is seen in that viral video throwing rocks at federal cars. Carillo was allegedly part of an anti-ICE activist group that intentionally blocked the federal agent cars on the pot farm and then ambushed the agents on the way out. HSI says at least four vehicles were damaged in that attack and a federal contractor was injured after a rock and shards of glass struck their hand.
Carillo is expected to be federally charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer. Now, this is all part of a broader sweep this morning happening across Southern California targeting people who engage in alleged violence against law enforcement during this summer's immigration raid in the L.A. area. We expect a press conference at any moment to give us full details.

BILL ESSAYLI, U.S. ATTORNEY IN CALIFORNIA (live press conference): ... in response to recent immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles, to date, we have charged 97 individuals either with assault or impeding federal agents engaged in immigration enforcement operations. And we will continue to charge more as we obtain the evidence.
Earlier this summer, federal agents engaged in law enforcement operations targeted at removing illegal immigrants who entered the United States unlawfully. In response, large protests began to form throughout the Los Angeles area. I want to be very clear. Every American has a right to peacefully protest. What is not constitutionally protected is a right to engage in violence or to impede federal agents by assaulting, doxxing or obstructing their operations.
On July 10th, law enforcement officers were executing a court-ordered search warrant at locations in Ventura County, Protesters, including members of an organization named VC Defensa came to the site of the search warrants. VC Defensa is an organization that operates and manages what they call a "rapid response network" designed to impede federal agents and their enforcement operations. And that warrant is what you see on the camera there at the marijuana farm where the agents were attempting to leave.
In one of the criminal complaints today, we are charging two members of VC Defensa of conspiring to impede and injure federal law enforcement officers. These two VC Defensa members went to the protest on July 10 in Ventura County, and acted with others to assault enforcement vehicles and officers. One of the members charged in the complaint used her vehicle to block U.S. government vehicles from leaving the location while another member and others ambushed the vehicles by throwing rocks at them. And those images went viral. Several government vehicles were damaged, and a federal contract employee was injured as a rock went through her vehicle window, shattering the glass and striking her.
