Despite what the gaslighters in the Democrat Party and the MSM want people to think, the violence that has taken place during the Los Angeles riots has been both severe and widespread, with rioters throwing heavy stones and Molotov cocktails directly at law enforcement officers and their vehicles on overpasses and in-person, and setting cars and SUVs on fire.
As we reported, one of the more infamous rioters seen in videos shared to social media hurling stones at ICE SUVs at an intersection, and who injured an officer, has now been identified. In her announcement, DOJ Attorney General Pam Bondi noted that "his name is Reyes, he is going to be on the most wanted list."
Further, she vowed that "So you can run, you can't hide. We are coming after you federally. If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on a police officer, we're coming after you."

"Coming after you" is exactly what happened in the case of another violent LA rioter, who DHS announced on Wednesday had been arrested by ICE on grounds that the rioter allegedly was one of the ones throwing Molotov cocktails.
In the announcement, shared on social media by Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, DHS wrote that the man was a previously deported illegal immigrant from Mexico, and that he would be charged with attempted murder:
BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that ICE arrested a previously deported illegal alien from Mexico who they say was caught on video throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during the riots in Los Angeles on Saturday. Emiliano Garduno-Galvez will be charged w/ attempted murder. He has prior arrests in Long Beach for DUI and and grand theft in Anaheim.
DHS statement via @TriciaOhio:
“Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who threatened the lives of federal law enforcement officers by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail during the violent riots in Los Angeles. ICE arrested Garduno-Galvez, and he is now being charged with attempted murder. These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “The Los Angeles rioters will not stop us or slow us down. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
In other words, this guy is probably wishing right about now that he'd never left Mexico:

Whenever you hear Democrat "leaders" like LA Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaim that they have the situation "under control" and that the purported "protesters" are "mostly peaceful," remember that it's criminal illegal immigrants like Reyes and Garduno-Galvez whom they are defending over the objections of people who are fed up with porous open borders and the crime that stems from it in their communities.
It's one of the most epic messaging fails in Democrat Party history, ranking in the top five right along with "Defund the Police." Keep it up, guys. You're doing great.
I'm really looking forward to the 2026 midterms.
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
