US EditionMan Accused Of Attacking Federal Agents At Paramount Protest Arrested
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 federal charges, with officials saying the affidavit was false due to an agent's lie about being in hot pursuit.
- Amid rising enforcement, federal immigration agents have intensified, while President Donald Trump authorized agents to stop vehicles when attacked and arrest attackers on the spot.
- In the clip, rocks strike the windows and windshields of vehicles containing federal agents from close range during the Paramount protest site scene.
- Reyna’s initial court appearance scheduled this afternoon, `Reyna’s arrest today proves we can find and charge anyone who violates federal law`, said U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.
- With indictments due by Aug. 5, prosecutors face a challenge, as three law enforcement officials said they struggle to get protest-related cases past grand juries.
