The arrest of Elpidio Reyna, the man caught hurling concrete blocks at federal officers during last month’s chaos in Los Angeles, should send a crystal-clear message to every lawless thug out there: attacking police won’t be tolerated under this administration. While cities like Los Angeles continue to suffer under the weight of radical leftist policies, the Trump administration isn’t sitting quietly by. They’re hitting back hard, enforcing the rule of law in a sanctuary city that clearly forgot what “sanctuary” really means — a safe haven for criminals and agitators, not peaceful citizens.
What we saw in downtown LA was nothing short of an orchestrated riot. When federal agents stepped up immigration enforcement in these sanctuary zones, predictable mobs of so-called protesters emerged. Their masks and helmets don’t hide the fact that they want to destroy America’s law enforcement, undermine federal authority, and push their anarchist agenda. Reyna’s attack on Border Patrol officers wasn’t just reckless; it was almost deadly. These federal agents were simply doing their jobs, trying to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws — yet they were met with bricks and violence. It’s downright disgusting.
Liberals who scream about “protesters’ rights” and “social justice” conveniently ignore the destruction and carnage left behind. Radical left-wing leaders in California have spent years crippling law enforcement, demoralizing officers, and unleashing unchecked crime. This anti-police hysteria has allowed scum like Reyna to feel emboldened. Yet, when push comes to shove, the Trump administration’s law enforcement agencies show the country how to be tough and relentless. They tracked this guy all the way to Mexico and made sure he couldn’t escape justice. No more excuses about “immigration reform” while criminals run wild.
“There are videos of federal vehicles being hit with projectiles while driving down Alondra Boulevard on June 7,” said Deputy FBI Director @dbongino, after Elpidio Reyna was arrested for his role in the anti-@ICEgov riots in Los Angeles.https://t.co/DDYn2wjiZO

This crackdown punches hard at the globalist open-borders narrative, which demands America become a playground for illegal immigrants with no regard for law or order. Sanctuary cities like Los Angeles are backed by a liberal elite more interested in virtue signaling than public safety. They refuse to cooperate with federal immigration efforts, turning a blind eye as migrants flood in, some with violent pasts. Yet the feds keep fighting, even when obstructed by judges appointed by the previous administration who want to tie ICE’s hands. The message is simple: lawbreakers can run, but they won’t hide.
If you think America should stand down while mobs attack our officers, think again. Reyna faces up to eight years in prison, and rightfully so. It’s about time federal officials made good on their vow to protect those who put their lives on the line every single day. For too long, cities like LA have been a battleground where law enforcement is second-guessed, and criminals run roughshod. This arrest isn’t just a win — it’s a stark warning to anarchists and open-borders radicals: America will no longer tolerate lawlessness. When will those who love this country demand the same from their leaders?
