It’s official. Sanctuary cities and states for illegal alien criminals are also sanctuaries for deadly assaults on immigration officers.
In California, an Obama judge decided to let off an illegal alien who rammed his car into ICE officers. We now have a second case out of Seattle.
A jury on Friday acquitted Victor Vivanco-Reyes, of four felony counts of assaulting federal officers with a deadly weapon, stemming from a June 2025 confrontation on Camano Island in which prosecutors said he rammed a truck and trailer into agents during an arrest attempt, injuring officers and damaging government vehicles.
Vivanco-Reyes, a citizen of Mexico, was illegally living in Stanwood at the time and had fled from agents just weeks before the June 6, 2025, confrontation on Camano Island, which left multiple Homeland Security investigation (HSI) agents injured, according to court documents.
Agents identified Vivanco-Reyes as the driver, but prosecutors say he suddenly sped off, driving dangerously and nearly hitting a pedestrian, other vehicles, and a school bus…
Then, prosecutors say, Vivanco-Reyes accelerated.
The truck veered toward the agent’s vehicle, striking it with enough force that the attached trailer lifted into the air. The open passenger door slammed shut, pinning the agent’s shoulder and causing injuries to his ribs and arm.
The truck narrowly missed another officer who was trying to exit his vehicle.
Moments later, Vivanco-Reyes drove straight into a second agent’s car, severely damaging it and knocking an agent off balance as he exited, prosecutors said.
Vivanco-Reyes, according to DHS, was a convicted drive-by shooter who engaged in a prison riot. A jury let him off, despite extensive evidence, because politicians and the media convinced that ICE is evil and its officers deserve anything that happens to them.
This is civil war stuff and it’s not going to end well.

Trump is good, but we need Pinochet.
What is going on is not protesting against political policies; with the tacit — and even direct — involvement of elected officials, law enforcement personnel and judges, it is an actual rebellion against our nation’s laws ... and the federal government must address it — quickly and completely — as a rebellion (e.g., the Shay’s Rebellion; the Whiskey Rebellion, etc.)
We need a team to just make these people disappear.
Judges getting those leg tingles.
No comment.
Individuals defying federal law is not Civil War.
State governments defying federal law is definitely Civil War.
>We need a team to just make these people disappear.
Naw, they need to do the needful right then and there.
Note to ICE:
Local justice systems will not protect you.
Go into every detainment with overwhelming force.
Use heavy duty vehicles.
Take heavily armed guards for the agents.
Meet any physical opposition with instant, deadly response.
But.....there are federal charges for ramming ICE officers and vehicles, right?
Was this in a federal court?
.
Federal charges next time
“In California, an Obama judge decided to let off an illegal alien who rammed his car into ICE officers. We now have a second case out of Seattle.”
Which is why I COMPLETELY support ICE killing anyone ramming into them.
Maximilien Robespierre.
Absolutely. I wonder why they didn’t shoot him.
Right. Left wing judges have made a mockery of the justice system. Their political bias has undermined faith in the system.
The Mozambique drill.
