A violent rioter who attacked Border Patrol officers has finally been arrested after hiding in Mexico. Elpidio Reyna was caught at the border trying to escape justice for his cowardly attacks on law enforcement. This dangerous felon had been on the run since hurling rocks at federal vehicles during anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.
Reyna was filmed wearing a motorcycle helmet while launching concrete blocks at moving Border Patrol trucks in Paramount last month. He targeted officers who were simply doing their duty to protect our nation. This reckless assault put brave agents in grave danger as they patrolled our streets.
One federal officer suffered injuries because of Reyna’s violent actions. These heroes risk everything to keep Americans safe, yet faced attacks from domestic radicals. Rock-throwing may seem minor to liberals, but it could have killed law enforcement professionals serving our community.
Authorities confirmed Reyna is a career criminal with prior arrests for burglary, drug dealing, and driving offenses. His long rap sheet proves he’s a menace to society, not some misguided protester. Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies allow such repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods.
The FBI had placed Reyna on their Most Wanted List with a $50,000 reward for his capture. He fled to Mexico like a coward, thinking he could escape American justice. But our border agents never stopped hunting this fugitive who attacked their colleagues.
Reyna was finally apprehended Wednesday at the San Ysidro border crossing. He surrendered when cornered by the same brave officers he’d targeted. This arrest sends a powerful message: if you attack law enforcement, we will hunt you down wherever you hide.
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli declared, “Anyone who thinks attacks like this will stop us from doing our job should think again.” Homeland Security officials emphasized that assaulting officers brings maximum prosecution. Finally, we’re seeing real consequences for anti-police violence.
This case exposes the left’s dangerous tolerance for mob violence against law enforcement. While liberals coddle criminals, patriots stand with the brave agents defending our borders. Catching Reyna proves that law and order will prevail against chaos and lawlessness.
