Wild Video Shows Anti-ICE Zealot Ramming Agent's Truck — Now Faces Up to 20 Years in the Slammer
Red State ^ | 05/22/2026 | Bob Hoge

We’ve seen plenty of violent anti-ICE action against the agency in Trump’s second term in office, but this episode goes right at or near the top of the “This Is Nuts" list.

It happened in Chicago on Oct. 4, 2025, during an enforcement mission targeting criminal illegal aliens — "Operation Midway Blitz” — on the city's Southwest Side.

That’s when Diego Emmanuel Reyes, 21, decided not to throw rocks, not to chant obscenities, but to intentionally ram his SUV into an agent’s vehicle. Newly released video shows that after striking the truck, the driver appears to accelerate, not slow down. 

Talk about unhinged:

Federal Grand Jury in Chicago Returns Indictment Against Operation Midway Blitz Defendant for Alleged Vehicle-Ramming Attack on Federal Immigration Agent @FBIChicago https://t.co/LNsHqg9KjR pic.twitter.com/tXEjckhYfS— U.S. Attorney’s Office (NDIL) (@NDILnews) May 21, 2026

This guy is lucky to be alive. As you’ll see in the video, agents quickly pulled out guns and fired off multiple rounds. 

Now he’s going to face the music:

Diego Emmanuel Reyes, 21, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on charges of assaulting, impeding, intimidating and interfering with a federal agent and faces up to 20 years in prison…

Reyes is accused of intentionally slamming his SUV into the rear of the ICE agent's white pickup truck while the officer was performing official duties, according to the indictment.

After the initial crash, prosecutors claim Reyes hit the gas, accelerating his SUV forward and aggressively pushing the agent's truck.

The reason he might get 20 years is that he's being indicted with a potentially enhanced penalty for using a deadly weapon — his SUV. An arraignment date in Chicago federal court has not been scheduled.

Here's another angle:

The identity of the man who rammed DHS agents shortly, made famous by the video I posted on October 5, 2025, after Marimar Martinez was shot has finally been released. See the comments for the full story. pic.twitter.com/8oPwdKwDm1— Kim "Katie" USA (@KimKatieUSA) May 21, 2026

It’s a beautiful Friday here in sunny Los Angeles… but as I was driving back from the grocery store, I found myself behind a mid-size vehicle with a giant “ABOLISH ICE” scrawl over its entire rear window. What is the matter with these people? 

Meanwhile, some Boomer acquaintances of ours have a yard sign that reads, “RESIST!” We see them around from time to time, so I have no real desire to start a feud, but sometimes I want to yell, “Resist WHAT, you moron?” Resist the rampant homelessness, crime, crushing taxes, and the knowledge that your kids will probably never be able to own even a modest house like yours in this state?

This guy Reyes is probably going to face some stiff consequences, even in a blue, soft-on-crime state like Illinois. He’s likely to spend a good portion of his life as a twenty-something-year-old staring at concrete, and he’ll never get it back. 

Was it worth it, Diego? Did you accomplish a single thing? I would say no.

Clarification: This is going to be a federal trial, so we'll be spared from woke Chicago prosecutors in charge. However, the jury will be comprised of citizens from Gov. JB Pritzker's deep-blue state, and we know how that can go.

I am sure he was a good Christian and loving father with no hate in his heart while attempting murder to prevent the arrest of rapists, slavers and all around thugs in the country illegally.

Just like that pervert female in Minnesota that Tucker's Suckers spent day's wailing about.

Forgive my complete and total lack of boo-hoos.

Diego needs his criminal ass locked up in a Mehican prison for at least 70 years. Forkhead.

He’s a “hardworking”, church going Catholic who loves families. That is all families but gringo families.

I’ve long said that such officers need to be armed with AR-12s and AR-45s to stop a vehicle.

That's an act of insurrection and could have been killed on the spot. Islamofascists invading America. Blak "teens" rioting on beaches, school graduations, chucky cheese. And filthy crimigrants creating mayhem and attempted murder on federal officers.

We desperately need a massive far right reset on The Republic. To take it back by whatever means necessary from the anti God/anti Christ demons in control.
