Paramount Home Depot. Concrete through glass. Forehead. Keep that order.
LA brute learns fate for chucking concrete rocks at federal agents during anti-ICE riots

He threw concrete through glass, fled to Mexico, then learned a forehead still counts.
Summary
- The New York Post reports Elpidio Reyna, 42, of Compton, was captured on video last June hurling large chunks of concrete at government vehicles near a Home Depot in Paramount as agents staged an operation.
- A rock Reyna threw broke through glass and cut an officer's forehead. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said disagreeing with laws passed by Congress does not give anyone a right to assault federal officers.
- Reyna fled to Mexico after law enforcement released his image, landed on the FBI Most Wanted list, was arrested by Mexican authorities, and later surrendered to the FBI. He pleaded guilty on February 17 to assault on a federal officer by a deadly or dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury and has been in federal custody since July 2025.
- In related riot cases, Jacob Daniel Terrazas, 31, drew 10 months in July for throwing cinderblock chunks that hit a Border Patrol agent's leg at the same riot, and a 25-year-old was sentenced in June to 30 months after hitting an officer in the head with a rock at an ICE office in Portland.
Commentary
A Paramount dad still smells hot asphalt by a Home Depot lot and knows a protest is supposed to be a sign, not a concrete bid on a federal forehead. He did not pay the levy so a rioter could book a Mexico run after the glass broke.
Video. Forehead. Most Wanted. February 17 plea. The honest household already paid the overtime. The officer still has a scar while the slogans called it resistance.
Look every working father who still clocks a warehouse shift next to that lot in the eye and answer this: if concrete through a windshield is now a guilty plea, who still owns the next rock thrown at an ICE vehicle?
Comments
If the glass already broke, why did a riot still get sold as protest?

I stood a line so a federal truck still meant a federal crime. A rock is not speech.

Feb. 17 plea. Deadly-weapon assault. Custody since July 2025. Print the three.

Allied streets still treat a forehead cut as a felony, not a costume.

Fled to Mexico. FBI Most Wanted. Mexican arrest, then surrender. File the chain.

I still punch in at 2 a.m. I want the next rioter in a cell, not on a poster.

A scar on a federal forehead is not a slogan. It is a warning the street already paid.

A Mexico run after a rock is a second border around a crime scene. The first statute should have been enough.

The Post printed Essayli, Terrazas's 10 months, and Portland's 30. Argue those nouns.

Keep the pleas. Keep the time. A riot rock is not a visa.
