Federal Employees Face Harassment, Intimidation on Daily Basis at Los Angeles Building
A female federal employee described her daily ordeal of facing harassment and intimidation from ruthless agitators at a building in downtown Los Angeles. The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, stated that she and her colleagues are subjected to verbal abuse and threats every day, creating an atmosphere akin to a "war zone".
The Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, which houses the Central District courthouse and offices for various agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has become a hotspot for violent protests in recent months. Members of Antifa have been identified as the perpetrators, who have been posting on social media and intimidating employees, judges, and even recording their faces and license plates.
The employee recounted an incident where she was called a fascist and witnessed protesters spitting on cars while using racial slurs against her colleagues. "It's totally deranged and unacceptable," she said.
Law enforcement officials have reported several incidents of violent protests and vandalism at the building, including one in December when a suspect allegedly attempted to hurl Molotov cocktails at ICE officers. The suspect, Jose Francisco Jovel, was carrying four knives and a multi-tool but failed to light the bombs, which never caught fire.
The employee stated that she turned up late to work after witnessing the incident, as crime tape had been set up around the lobby. The attempted attack on ICE officers is seen as emblematic of the constant attacks faced by federal law enforcement personnel who risk their lives to apprehend criminals.
In June, more than two dozen DHS agents were attacked at a hotel in Los Angeles, with another individual allegedly tossing a Molotov cocktail that landed in the bushes, resulting in no injuries or damage.
These incidents have raised concerns about the safety of federal employees and law enforcement personnel working in downtown Los Angeles.

I've been hearing rumors about the Antifa protests near the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building for months now, but to see it play out like this is just wild 
. I mean, can you imagine showing up to work every day and being called a fascist or spat on? It's totally unacceptable 
. And the fact that law enforcement officers are getting attacked with Molotov cocktails? That's just not right 
. The government needs to do something about this ASAP before someone gets seriously hurt 
. I'm all for protesting and exercising our rights, but not when it turns violent 
. Something needs to be done to make the workplace safe again 
.
The fact that these Antifa dudes are basically holding the whole building hostage with their threats and intimidation is just wild 
. And what's even crazier is that social media is fueling all this drama, like, "Hey, let's terrorize some feds!" 
. We're all just trying to get our work done here. 
, especially when it comes to someone just doing their job 
. And what's even more concerning is that these protests are getting more and more violent 
. We need more people like her who aren't afraid to say something is wrong.
.
. This is just unacceptable and we can't let it slide 
i was reading about the antifa group earlier and i'm just trying to understand what's going on, but from what i saw they're basically a bunch of radicals who think they can intimidate people into agreeing with them 
... I mean, can you imagine having to go to work every day feeling like a target? It's not right that someone would resort to intimidation and harassment like that. What's really disturbing is that it's not just the employees themselves, but also judges and law enforcement officers who are being targeted.
The employee in question, she's just doing her job, trying to make a living and contribute to society... shouldn't that be enough?
.
, its time for the government to step up and do something about it 
And can you believe they're trying to hurl Molotov cocktails at ICE officers?! 
I'm seriously concerned about these attacks on federal employees and law enforcement personnel at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in LA. It's like a war zone in there! 
And what about the impact on employees who are already working under stress? The thought of turning up late to work because crime tape has been set up around the lobby is just devastating.
