The university of this professor, i.e. California State University Channel Islands, does not seem to publish a photo of this professor (here is the link to his directory entry). Even the news releases about his arrest by this university are without any photo of this professor (see e.g. here)

This professor does not have a Google Scholar profile as of 7/16/2025.

"An affidavit obtained by Ojai Valley News said “dozens of protestors attempt to obstruct the execution of the high-risk search warrant.” Caravello “ran towards the canister, picked it up, and threw the canister overhand back at [border patrol] agents.” The canister “came within approximately several feet above law enforcement’s heads.” ..."

"California State University Channel Islands is aware of reports that Professor Jonathan Anthony Caravello of CSU Channel Islands, a legal U.S. citizen, was taken into federal custody during a protest at Glass House Farms in Camarillo.

We are currently gathering additional information to fully understand the circumstances of the incident. At this time, it is our understanding that Professor Caravello was peacefully participating in a protest—an act protected under the First Amendment and a right guaranteed to all Americans. If confirmed, we stand with elected officials and community leaders calling for his immediate release. ..."
