"Trump’s top federal prosecutor in L.A. struggles to secure indictments in protest cases"


By James Queally and Brittny Mejia
July 23, 2025 1:59 PM PT

To bystanders at the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, it sounded as though U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli would not take no for an answer.

A prosecutor had the irate Trump administration appointee on speakerphone outside the grand jury room, and his screaming was audible, according to three law enforcement officials aware of the encounter who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

The grand jury had just refused to indict someone accused of attacking federal law enforcement officers during protests against the recent immigration raids throughout Southern California, two of the federal officials said.

It was an exceedingly rare outcome after a type of hearing that routinely leads to federal charges being filed.

On the overheard call, according to the three officials, Essayli, 39, told a subordinate to disregard the federal government’s “Justice Manual,” which directs prosecutors to bring only cases they can win at trial. Essayli barked that prosecutors should press on and secure indictments as directed by U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi, according to the three officials.

Court records show the reason for Essayli’s frustration.

Although his office filed felony cases against at least 38 people for alleged misconduct that either took place during last month’s protests or near the sites
of immigration raids, many have been dismissed or reduced to misdemeanor charges.

In total, he has secured only seven indictments, which usually need to be obtained no later than 21 days after the filing of a criminal complaint. Three other cases have been resolved via plea deal, records show.

The three officials who spoke to The Times on condition of anonymity said prosecutors have struggled to get several protest-related cases past grand juries, which need only to find probable cause that a crime has been committed in order to move forward. That is a much lower bar than the “beyond a reasonable
doubt” standard required for a criminal conviction.

Grand and petit juries are the conscience of the community and checks on
overly zealous prosecutors.

They frequently reflect the wishes of the prosecution, There
are too many liberal persecutors who don't want to punish
any protestors. Of course all you can find in Southern
Cartelland is liberal nuts.

Every person in the US is here either
legally or illegally. Those that are
here illegally should be afraid.
Be very afraid. It does not matter
how long you have been here. It does
not matter why you are here. It does not
matter what you have done legally while you
were here. It does not matter what any
relative may have done while you were here.
It only matters that you are here illegally.
It may take a day, a week, a year, or longer
but we will find you and we will deport you.
Be prepared.

Deport them all.

All politicians are trained to lie
and make those lies sound like
the truth. They start with the biggest
lie of all: Politicians are public
servants.

The Dims have an appropriate party
symbol: A jackass.

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting
and abhorrent.
Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying.

I support:

A Constitional Amendment establishing
the Freedom of Choice.

The elimination of public expression,
display or support of religion or
religious positions.

Protest is not illegal, you fucking Nazi filth rapist.

Protesting is illegal when they break the law protesting, which they
often do, you ignorant, cowardly dwarf.

If you burn buildings and cars, you are no longer protesting. You're
rioting.

If you block public thoroughfares, you are no longer protesting.
You're rioting.

If you throw things at the police, you are no longer protesting.
You're rioting.

Rioters need to be fire-hosed, run over, and shot.

But Newsom and Bass said it was peaceful. That Trump was a meanie for
sending the National Guard and Marines to augment law enforcement and
protect businesses.
