Protesters Clash with Police, National Guard in Downtown Los Angeles
PARAMOUNT, CALIFORNIA, JUL 23 – Elpidio Reyna faces felony assault charges after throwing rocks at ICE vehicles during protests, reflecting a rise in attacks on federal agents amid increased immigration enforcement.
- Videos posted by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli show Reyna surrendering at the U.S.-Mexico border to face felony charges, including assault for throwing rocks at ICE vehicles in Paramount on June 7.
- Amid rising enforcement, federal agents received orders from President Donald Trump to stop vehicles when attacked and arrest attackers on the spot, as violence against immigration enforcement escalates.
- In the clip, rocks strike the windows and windshields of ICE vehicles, with many Border Patrol and unmarked cars exiting the Paramount protest area.
- Reyna’s initial court appearance is scheduled for this afternoon, and U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said, `'Reyna’s arrest proves we can find and charge anyone who violates federal law.'`
- With indictments due by Aug. 5, prosecutors face a challenge, as three law enforcement officials said they struggle to get protest cases past grand juries.
