A California activist who was arrested last month for distributing face shields and other items at protests against President Donald Trump's immigration raids has been indicted. A federal grand jury this week charged him with conspiracy and aiding and abetting civil disorder. The indictment is one of more than a dozen brought by federal prosecutors in the aftermath of mass protests across Los Angeles in June.
According to court records, Alejandro Orellana, 29, and at least two others drove through downtown Los Angeles on June 9 in a pickup truck, distributing Uvex Bionic face shields and other supplies to protesters gathered near a federal building on Los Angeles Street.
