This video from the Watching the Watchers channel discusses the criminal sentencing of Elpedio Raina, a man from Compton, for his role in attacking ICE vehicles (0:00 - 0:24).
Key takeaways include:
Sentencing Outcome: Raina was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison (0:27, 8:31) for felony assault on a federal officer (0:36). He had requested probation (1:52, 4:06) but the judge rejected this, noting that disagreement with laws passed by Congress does not justify assaulting federal officers (1:03).
The Incident: On June 7th in Los Angeles, Raina was involved in an anti-ICE protest where he knowingly lit objects on fire and threw large rocks at a convoy of federal law enforcement vehicles (1:36 - 1:43, 6:33 - 6:46). One rock shattered a vehicle's windshield, resulting in a cut to a federal agent's forehead (0:07, 6:56).
Defense Arguments: Raina's legal team argued for leniency based on his character, stressing his role as a provider for his family, including his autistic son, and his lack of a significant criminal history (2:16 - 3:00, 4:00 - 4:03).
Judicial Context: The sentencing was presided over by Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha, a Trump appointee (8:38, 8:46). The government had recommended a low-end guideline sentence of 46 months (6:26, 7:36), but the judge ultimately imposed 36 months followed by 3 years of supervised release (8:31).

I remember that creep.......he got off lucky with just 36 months!
Did he think that what he did is a form of protected speech? What else are they wrongly assuming, that they are destined to be the new Greatest Generation? I think not.
He’s now claiming he has an autistic daughter (don’t they all?).
It didn’t work.
> I remember that creep.......he got off lucky with just 36 months! <
Yes, he was lucky there. But he was unlucky in that he got a judge appointed by Trump. Had it been a Biden judge, he’d have gotten probation.
And maybe even an apology from the court.
Is the ICE hater guy a Hindi-Mexican?
Raina / Reyna is a surname that can trace its origins to India.
Elpidio Reyna’s country of origin is Mexic0; he also holds US citizenship........though how he got it should be investigated.
ICE attacker Elpidio Reyna has a criminal history.
Autistic daughter? These days it’s probably a guy and the MSM is going to run with it.
Adios, muchacho
REAKING NEWS FBI unmasks protester who attacked officers with cinder blocks at LA immigration riots

The FBI has identified the protestor filmed hurling cinder blocks at law enforcement vehicles during the anti-ICE riots, and Pam Bondi warns he and others will be hunted down.
The suspect, who has so far only been named as ‘Reyes’, has been added to the bureau’s most wanted list after a $50,000 reward was announced for information leading to the suspect’s arrest and conviction.
‘That guy has just been identified, and they are doing a search warrant on his house as we speak,’ Bondi told Fox News.
The brute was photographed wearing a green and orange Los Angeles Lakers cap along with a mask as he was filmed breaking up cinder blocks into smaller pieces before tossing them at law enforcement.
It was one of several abysmal acts by the immigration rioters, who have resorted to setting self-driving ‘WAYMO’ cars on fire or arming themselves with hammers at officers, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said.
“…stressing his role as a provider for his family, including his autistic son, and his lack of a SIGNIFICANT criminal history“
Oh, he only had a petty crime history!? OK, that settles it. Let him off.
Anyway we can put some money in a couple of his fellow inmates prison commissary to make sure he gets the welcome he deserves?
Probably goes to the Learing Center.
“Elpidio Reyna has a criminal history”
Don’t they all?
“REAKING NEWS”! Is that an error or deliberate?
Either way it’s hugh and should be a Freeper meme.
will be pardoned by the next democrat along with all other leftist protestors.
“El Pedio” is a GREAT name for an illegal. LOL. I crack myself up.
If true, he should have thought about that and been there for her instead of roaming the streets violently attacking people.
Nope.
He’s in federal jail.
He’s served a year already being detained.
He has 2 years more in jail.
Trump has over 2 years to go so this guy will serve his full term in jail.
An idiotic attorney, argues to a Trump appointed judge:
Excerpt:
Reyna’s lawyer, Marilyn Bednarski, had argued he should be released with time served.
She said Reyna’s behavior that day was “aberrant” and explained by “the emotional community response to the immigration service’s violent invasion.”
She also said the fact that President Trump granted clemency to those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, should argue for leniency.
And she said the officers who served the arrest warrant on Reyna damaged his gate, his van and his living room carpet, plus caused his dog to run away. The dog was never found.
In his own letter to the judge, Reyna apologized, saying two relatives were “taken away that day.”
“I did not intend to hurt anyone. I let my anger take over,” he wrote.
