Actions have consequences, and no one now should understand that better than one Adam Charles Palermo, who is now facing the consequences for his attacks on California Highway Patrol officers during the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles last year. He’s not the only one, either.

The post reads:
Adam Charles Palermo, 40, of Rampart Village, pleaded guilty on Monday to one felony federal count of assaulting, resisting, and impeding persons assisting federal officers and employees with a deadly or dangerous weapon.
Palermo and several other defendants were charged in connection with a violent attack on California Highway Patrol officers in downtown Los Angeles on June 8, 2025, during an anti-ICE riot.
Palermo, who remains in federal custody, will face a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison at his sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for July 6.
A press release from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California has more.
Three California men pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges for throwing rocks, fireworks, and ignited debris at California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers trapped underneath a downtown Los Angeles freeway overpass – with a CHP vehicle set ablaze – during anti-immigration law enforcement rioting last year.
Federal prosecutors have secured a total of six guilty pleas stemming from violence that occurred at the Main Street overpass on the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles during the evening of June 8, 2025, when rioters targeted law enforcement officers during a protest against enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
Here are the goblins in question:
Guilty pleas were taken today from the following defendants:
- Ismael Vega, 41, of Westlake, who pleaded guilty to one felony count of obstructing, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder;
- Balton Montion, 25, of Watsonville but who was a Los Angeles County resident during last year’s attack, who also pleaded guilty to one felony count of obstructing, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder; and
- Junior Roldan, 27, of Hollywood, who pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of simple assault on a person assisting a federal officer,
On Monday, the following three defendants pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges stemming from the same incident:
- Adam Charles Palermo, 40, of Rampart Village, who pleaded guilty to one felony count of assaulting, resisting, and impeding persons assisting federal officers and employees with a deadly or dangerous weapon;
- Yachua Mauricio Flores, 23, of Lincoln Heights, who pleaded guilty to one felony count of obstructing, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder; and
- Ronald Alexis Coreas, 23, of Westlake, who pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of simple assault on a person assisting a federal officer.
Actions have consequences.

And, that’s a good day’s work by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The events that led to these charges sprang from an anti-ICE, pro-illegal immigrant “civil disorder,” or one might call it, a “riot,” during which three of the perps, Palermo, Vega, and Flores pelted California Highway Patrol officers with debris, including cardboard and “vegetation,” as well as dropping lit fireworks on the officers. At least one CHP vehicle was set ablaze. Flores reportedly poured an accelerant on the burning vehicle, and three of the others, Montion, Coreas, and Roldan, threw rocks at officers who were attempting to clear a blocked overpass.
United States District Judge John F. Walter has scheduled sentencing hearings for the six men in coming months.
Stay tuned.
