In a stunning development, a federal grand jury has indicted Alejandro Orellana, the man who went viral last month for delivering bionic face shields and supplies to violent anti-ICE rioters during the Los Angeles chaos. This indictment exposes the dark underbelly of left-wing extremism, where anarchists and agitators are openly armed and funded to wage war against law enforcement—all while the liberal media turns a blind eye or, worse, cheers them on.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor originally reported, Orellana was caught on video pulling up in a pickup truck loaded with tactical gear, including bionic face shields—equipment clearly designed for violent confrontations with police. Fox 11 LA reporter Elex Michaelson, one of the few journalists willing to call out the blatant coordination behind these riots, tweeted at the time:
“#BREAKING We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?”

The video evidence speaks for itself: Masked agitators swarming the truck, snatching up shields like a well-organized militia. Orellana, attempting to hide behind goggles and a face mask, thought he could evade accountability. But under President Trump’s America, law and order prevail. The Department of Justice isn’t playing games—Orellana now faces federal charges for Conspiracy to Aid and Abet rioters, a clear message that those enabling domestic terrorism will be held accountable.
🚨 WTF? PAID-FOR "bionic shields" are being trucked in for the Los Angeles rioters.
These cost around $60, each…and there are BOXES and BOXES of them being handed out.

This indictment is a direct rebuke to the radical left and their media enablers, who have spent years glorifying violent protests as “mostly peaceful” while demonizing police and federal authorities. Where was CNN’s outrage over this premeditated arming of rioters? Where was MSNBC’s “expert analysis” on who funded these shields? Silence. Instead, they’ve spent every waking moment attacking President Trump for daring to uphold the rule of law.

President Trump has consistently warned about the dangers of left-wing anarchists and their shadowy financiers. From Antifa’s firebombings to BLM’s deadly riots, the pattern is clear: The left doesn’t want justice—they want chaos. And when patriots demand answers, the liberal media rushes to protect the perpetrators. But this indictment proves that the Trump-era DOJ won’t be swayed by political narratives.
Alejandro Orellana is charged with Conspiracy to Aid and Abet. He’s become somewhat of a household name among anti-ICE protestors, with groups as far as Milwaukee
and Chicago demonstrating against his arrest. He’s a member of CENTRO CSO. Its raising funds for his legal…— Matt Finn (@MattFinnFNC) July 2, 2025
The same leftists who scream about “democracy” are the ones arming violent mobs to attack ICE facilities, burn courthouses, and assault police. Meanwhile, President Trump stands firm, deploying federal officers to restore order while the Democrats—from Biden to Harris—have either remained silent or outright encouraged the mayhem.
