Prosecutors contend the defendants used Instagram accounts titled "ice_out_of_la," among other names, to stream their actions.

Upon arriving at the victim's home, the defendants shouted to bystanders that their "neighbor is ICE," "la migra lives here" and "ICE lives on your street and you should know," the Justice Department alleges.

The women also publicly disclosed on social media the federal employee's home address and told viewers, "Come on down," the indictment alleges.

If convicted as charged, the defendants could each face a possible total of 10 years behind bars, federal prosecutors noted.

"Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe," Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement when the women were indicted last month. "The conduct of these defendants are deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time."

A second defendant, Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado, pleaded not guilty to the charges and faces trial Nov. 18.

Law enforcement is currently searching for the third woman, Cynthia Raygoza, 37, of Riverside, prosecutors said.
