OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/22/2025, at approximately 12:45 p.m., deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department responded to a residence in the Valle Vista area of unincorporated Hemet, California. They found U.S. Border Patrol agent Isaiah Anthony Hodgson, 29, deceased inside the home. No foul play was suspected, and the cause of death remains undetermined pending investigation.

Hodgson was facing multiple criminal charges at the time of his death. On 07/07/2025, while off duty and reportedly intoxicated, he entered the women’s restroom at a Long Beach restaurant while carrying a firearm. When security attempted to intervene, he resisted. Responding Long Beach police officers attempted to arrest him, and Hodgson physically resisted, injuring one of the officers. The Los Angeles County District Attorney charged him with three felony counts of resisting an executive officer, one felony count of battery with injury on a peace officer, and three misdemeanor counts related to unlawfully carrying firearms in public. He pled not guilty and was released on conditions including relinquishing firearms and attending alcohol counseling. If convicted, he faced up to seven years in prison.

Hodgson’s name had also surfaced in connection with controversial Border Patrol arrests in Southern California, including an immigration sweep in Pico Rivera and other incidents that drew criticism from local communities. His actions had become the focus of public scrutiny and protest.

A GoFundMe campaign launched by his family to cover funeral expenses had raised more than $8,000 by the end of August.
