A San Jose tattoo artist who is facing ICE deportation was arrested and is now being held for mental evaluation after authorities say he attempted three carjackings along a commercial stretch of Berkeley on Sunday.
Guillermo Media Reyes, 31, has ... served prison time for attempted murder.
At 5 a.m. Saturday, police say Reyes called 911 to report a woman screaming in a vacant house on Prince Street in Berkeley, next door to where Reyes has been staying. Police arrived and found a broken window in the back and Reyes suffering from cuts to his hand.
Officers left, but four hours later, a big-rig driver alerted authorities that he was approached by a shirtless man, later identified by authorities as Reyes, who allegedly stole his cell phone and tried to take his truck, which was hauling several vehicles on San Pablo Avenue. However, the truck quickly stalled, and Reyes ran off. Police say the trucker’s phone was later abandoned.
Farther north on San Pablo Avenue, Reyes allegedly went into a local café’s kitchen and then to a rental car agency next door. Medics were summoned to a “medical emergency” at the café, possibly a fentanyl overdose, according to dispatch traffic, but Reyes fled north as emergency responders arrived.
Reyes then went to the rental car office next door, authorities say, where he allegedly took a handheld radio.
...
According to police, Reyes went across the street, where firefighters saw the attempted carjacking of a Prius from a customer in line at a local bakery. A toddler was in the back seat of that victim’s car as Reyes attempted to drive off, authorities say, but the car wouldn’t start because the keys were not inside.

More ICE please!
With the “polls” coming out these days I’ll bet the “media” is getting ready to drop one saying that 69% give criminals an “approval” rating while 31% “Don’t Know”.
Completely disgraceful that Biden and crew would allow that.
California man.
So NBC tries to lead with the most positive spin they can - the San Jose tattoo artist. But the story quickly devolves from there into a litany of crimes committed by this guy. Should they really have led with "San Jose tattoo artist"? Or should the article have started out with "Illegal career criminal"? That is the more appropriate description of this man.
Busy busy burglar
Probably learned how to tattoo in prison.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — In a powerful rebuke of ICE’s retaliatory efforts, a federal court today granted a preliminary injunction protecting Guillermo Medina Reyes, a beloved Bay Area tattoo artist, organizer, and immigrant rights advocate, from being immediately re-detained by immigration authorities. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin’s order means that Guillermo will be provided a bond hearing before an immigration judge to determine whether or not he will remain free, and confirming that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot unilaterally decide to re-detain someone in Guillermo’s position who was released on bond by an immigration judge.

I watched them do it all the time.
I thought the same thing. Why brand him as ‘the tattoo artist’ he’s an outright criminal and it has nothing to do with his tattoo business.
Oh no! Not a poor innocent tattoo artist! What would we do without tattoo artists? Having tattoo parlors in every strip mall in town is just not enough. We need more tattoo shops. There are too many people like me who haven’t had a single tattoo yet. So much blank skin!
But seriously… It sounds like meth. Methamphetamine. Supposedly he’s from San Jose and he’s on a crime spree in Berkley which is what 150 miles away? Meth makes its users miss a lot of sleep. People who don’t sleep get sleep deprivation psychosis. Paranoia, hallucinations, agitation and anxiety. Sometimes they get violent. It’s a bad scene. Sending him to Central America would be doing him a favor. I wonder what fatherless children and loving wives will be trotted out to build sympathy for the guy. They already are trying to make a victim of him by telling us what he does for a living.
He is the ideal Democrat illegal alien - they'll fight to keep him here.
