A violent anti-ICE rioter who attacked federal agents with rocks during last summer's chaos in Los Angeles County has pleaded guilty to assaulting a federal officer – and he's about to learn the hard way that attacking America's border defenders comes with serious consequences.
Elpidio Reyna, 41, admitted Tuesday to one count of assault with a deadly or dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury after he hurled rocks through a Customs and Border Protection officer's car window during the violent riots that plagued Los Angeles County. The attack left the federal officer injured while trying to do his job protecting America's borders.
Perfect Timing for Justice
The guilty plea couldn't come at a better time. While Reyna was busy attacking ICE agents last summer, President Trump was preparing to return to office with the largest deportation operation in American history. Now that Trump is back in the White House with his America First agenda in full swing, violent rioters who attack our border security are finding out there are real consequences for their actions.
This is exactly the kind of lawlessness that plagued our country under the previous administration – violent mobs attacking federal law enforcement officers while Democrats looked the other way or even encouraged the chaos. Remember how the left demonized ICE agents as jackbooted thugs while criminals like Reyna were literally throwing rocks at them?
The assault charge carries significant prison time, sending a clear message that attacking federal officers won't be tolerated under the Trump administration.
The Tables Have Turned
Now these anti-American rioters are facing the music while President Trump's mass deportation operations are ramping up nationwide. ICE agents who were under attack during the riots are now empowered to do their jobs without interference from radical leftist mobs.
Patriots across America are watching as the rule of law is finally being restored. No longer will violent criminals get away with attacking federal officers trying to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.
How many more anti-ICE rioters will face justice as Trump's deportation machine continues to clean up the mess left by four years of open borders chaos?
