Anti-ICE thug who threw rocks at Feds faces big time fallout

A violent rioter who nearly killed a federal officer by chucking rocks through a car window during last summer's unhinged anti-ICE meltdowns in Los Angeles County finally pleaded guilty on Tuesday to assaulting a federal officer. Rocks, as you may know, are the objects thrown at non-Islamic folks such as gays, women who refuse to wear cloth coffins, and atheists, and are frequently killed by them.

Elpidio Reyna, 41, copped to one count of assault with a deadly or dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury. He was among the dozens of geniuses rounded up after the riots kicked off when ICE actually started doing its job in the LA area.

"This defendant could have easily killed a federal officer or innocent bystander," said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. "As he found out the hard way, violence against law enforcement is not constitutionally protected and will be met with swift justice. Those who engage in similar violence will be arrested, charged, and eventually convicted in a court of law."

Back on June 7, 2025, Reyna decided to join the party, hurling rocks and improvised explosives at federal officers near a Home Depot in Paramount (about 11 miles north of Long Beach, for those keeping score).

"Protestors, including the defendant, began to throw rocks at the officers' official vehicles, lit objects on fire, and impeded law enforcement activity. During this, defendant knowingly and intentionally lit objects on fire in the middle of the street and threw rocks at a convoy of law enforcement vehicles occupied by Customs and Border Protection Officers," according to the plea agreement.

One rock smashed through a window and sliced open a CBP officer's forehead. The Justice Department even released video showing Reyna, decked out in a motorcycle helmet like some kind of wannabe tough guy, pelting vehicles with rocks and chunks of concrete.

The FBI had to dangle a $50,000 reward before someone finally ID'd him from his brilliant TikTok videos. He made the FBI's most wanted list until he turned himself in at the U.S.-Mexico border on July 23 like the hero he isn't.

Reyna now faces up to 20 years when he's sentenced August 7 by U.S. District Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha. He's been cooling his heels in federal custody since July 2025.

Dozens got pinched during the June-July freak-outs across LA and San Francisco over federal immigration enforcement. The chaos got so bad that President Donald Trump sent in the National Guard to protect federal personnel and property, which of course triggered an epic, months-long legal tantrum from California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom over the "outrage" of actually defending federal law. Classic.

Home Depot customer ties alleged hate knot but cops say it doesn't qualify

The safe spaces in America are shrinking day by day. You cannot even go into a Home Depot without having to worry that someone will tie a hangman's noose on a clothesline and leave it on the floor to endanger the lives of shoppers.

This happened, believe it or not, in the United States of America, in a state called Delaware. A Home Depot customer, who was perhaps shopping for Crazy Glue or a can of Drano, saw the noose on the floor and complained to management saying, "There's a hangman's noose on the floor! Racism. Racism. A noose is loose on the floor. Do something quick--it's scaring me. I don't feel safe. I'm suing."

The customer was so frightened by the noose, that there needed to be a cleanup in aisle two.

Delaware State Police announced Thursday that the incident did not legally qualify as a hate crime because ropes don't hate by themselves and there was no object seen that was hated, except perhaps for the rolls of Flex Seal, because it says it'll stop leaks like magic, but I still had to call a plumber.

 Sgt. Richard D. Bratz, communications director for the state police, told the outlet that a hate crime involves an act that targets a specific person based on a protected class, such as race or gender. Flex Seal has no race or gender, although it is a "tape of color."

The noose found in the aisle of the home improvement store was just laying there on the floor doing nothing, especially nothing hateful. The customer who tied the noose even came forward saying that they had been in the store shopping for ropes for work to build a canopy that was to be decorated with various "rope knots." The customer tied the knot but left it in the aisle and continued shopping.

Sometime later, two snowflake sisters found the noose and actually began screaming, according to Delaware Online. 

The manager asked another employee to help the women since he was assisting another customer, but ran over when they began screaming his name. The manager told Delaware Online that the women cursed at him when he tried to assist them and blamed Trump for the noose. 

The sisters, both liberals who are afraid to shop alone, ran home to their safe space and posted a photo of the noose online and a video of them playing the autoharp and singing "We Shall Overcome." 

“The person who put it in the aisle did not know that these two people would see it," Bratz said. "It was not directed to anyone.” Especially not those two idiots.

Days later, a store manager reported to police that he had been threatened over the phone by two women and a man. The manager said the people called him a racist and cursed at him, according to Delaware Online.

Bratz said the morons who made the threatening phone calls “absolutely” could be charged with harassment.

The sisters who found the noose previously said they would lead a demonstration outside the store because they are both unemployed and hope to meet two like-minded dolts who they can go with to future demonstrations to vent their invented outrage.
