A violent left-wing extremist who attacked federal immigration officers during last summer's anti-ICE riots is now facing the music – and it's beautiful to watch justice finally being served under President Trump's administration.
Elpidio Reyna, 41, pleaded guilty Tuesday to assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon after hurling rocks through a Customs and Border Protection vehicle window during the radical left's temper tantrum protests in Los Angeles County. The attack left a CBP officer injured while they were simply doing their job protecting our borders.
This is exactly what happens when deranged leftists think they can attack our federal agents with impunity. Under the weak Biden regime, these anti-American thugs felt emboldened to assault the very people keeping our communities safe from criminal illegal aliens.
The Left's War on Border Security Backfires
Remember folks, these weren't "peaceful protesters" – these were violent radicals who attacked federal officers trying to enforce our immigration laws. While Democrats and their media allies painted these criminals as noble "activists," the truth is they were nothing more than anti-American extremists willing to use violence against law enforcement.
Reyna admitted to one count of assault with a deadly or dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury – a serious federal crime that carries significant prison time. This sends a crystal clear message: attack our federal agents, face the consequences.
"This is what justice looks like when we have a real president who backs our law enforcement officers instead of coddling criminals."
The timing couldn't be more perfect. As President Trump ramps up his historic mass deportation operation, violent leftists are learning they can't intimidate ICE and CBP agents into backing down from their constitutional duty to secure our borders.
Under Trump's leadership, Attorney General Pam Bondi is making it clear that assaulting federal officers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law – no more catch and release for these domestic terrorists.
How many more of these anti-ICE criminals will think twice before attacking our heroes in uniform now that there's a sheriff back in town?
