   A Compton man pleaded guilty Tuesday to throwing rocks and injuring a   
   federal officer during a June immigration enforcement operation near a   
   Home Depot store in Paramount.   
      
   Elpidio Reyna, 41, entered a plea to one federal count of “assault on a   
   federal officer by deadly or dangerous weapon resulting in bodily   
   injury,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.   
      
   Authorities said a federal officer was injured and a government vehicle   
   damaged.   
      
   Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 7 in L.A. federal court.   
      
   Reyna was taken into custody July 23 at the U.S.-Mexico border in a   
   negotiated surrender, the FBI stated.   
      
   According to his plea agreement, Reyna lit objects on fire in the middle   
   of the street during the protest on Alondra Boulevard and threw rocks at   
   a convoy of law enforcement vehicles occupied by U.S. Customs and Border   
   Protection officers.   
      
   In doing so, Reyna threw a rock at a government vehicle, causing glass   
   to shatter, which injured an officer by cutting his forehead, according   
   to the plea agreement.   
      
   “The FBI issued video and photographs taken of the assailant on June 7   
   and Reyna was identified shortly thereafter,” the FBI said in a   
   statement when Reyna landed on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list.   
      
   “When agents attempted to arrest Reyna, he was not located, and agents   
   developed information confirming that he fled to Mexico,” according to   
   the FBI’s Los Angeles field office.   
      
   Reyna was initially detained by authorities in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.   
      
   After agreeing to surrender, Reyna was arrested by FBI agents at the San   
   Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego.   
      
   “This defendant could have easily killed a federal officer or innocent   
   bystander,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a   
   statement. “As he found out the hard way, violence against law   
   enforcement is not constitutionally protected and will be met with swift   
   justice. Those who engage in similar violence will be arrested, charged,   
   and eventually convicted in a court of law.”
