An illegal migrant from Mexico is accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at cops during the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles last weekend — and he’d already been deported from the US once before.
Emiliano Garduno-Galvez now faces an attempted murder charge after being nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Monday, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Ominous video footage released by ICE shows the Mexican migrant lurking around a tree wearing a black hoodie and face mask with what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail at his feet on Saturday, according to ICE

Police were seen trying to push rioters away from the area before Garduno-Galvez allegedly chucked the explosive at them, ICE said.

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin emphasized that “these are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect,” in a statement Wednesday.
She added: “The Los Angeles rioters will not stop us or slow us down. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

The Mexican illegal migrant also had a rap sheet that includes two arrests last year for a DUI in Long Beach and grand theft in Anaheim.
A DHS official told The Post that local officials didn’t honor previous detainers to let ICE take Garduno Galvez into custody after his previous arrests.
Anti-ICE protests broke out in LA Friday after immigration agents raided multiple workplaces and hauled of illegal migrants, but kicked off in earnest on Saturday.
Rioters threw rocks and molotov cocktails at federal agents and local cops.
Protesters later began showing up at multiple locations across the city to block ICE raids, while picketing at the agency’s downtown detention center.
The protests, however, quickly turned violent as rioters began burning cars, shutting down highways and looting storefronts.
