FBI Identified Suspect Implicated in Attack on Federal Agent; Trump Promises Assertive Reaction
HEAT'S ON, REYES: FBI hunts wanted man who attacked federal officer in LA riots
Attorney General Pam Bondi reveals the fugitive in the assault on a federal officer during anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles has been identified.
In a surprising revelation on "Hannity" Monday night, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed the suspect, known as Reyes, has been identified and a search warrant is currently being executed at his residence. The identity of this notorious suspect comes after the FBI had offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest [1].
Allegedly, Reyes hurled rocks at federal law enforcement vehicles during the demonstrations, causing injury to an officer and damaging government property [2]. The FBI has labeled Reyes as armed and dangerous.
IMPENDING DOOM FOR REYES:
FBI Director Kash Patel warned demonstrators weeks ago, "If you assault a law enforcement officer, you're going to jail – period" [3]. As President Trump famously stated, "You spit, we hit." [2]. If convicted, Reyes faces up to 20 years in prison for looting and up to five years for spitting on a federal officer [2].
In an attempt to keep the public informed, Attorney General Bondi pledged that the FBI would go after anyone who threatens federal law enforcement, noting, "you can run, but you can't hide" [1].
Confusion persists over the alleged suspect's full name, with some sources referring to him as Reyes, while others, including the U.S. Attorney’s office, use the name Elpidio Reyna [4]. Despite the inconsistencies, Reyes remains at large, prompting a nationwide manhunt.
