WATCH: Rioter who threw rocks at federal agents arrested at border: ‘We got him’

Elpidio Reyna, an alleged violent rioter who was captured on video throwing rocks at the windshields of moving Border Patrol vehicles in Los Angeles, was arrested on Wednesday at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Video of the attack allegedly shows Reyna, who is wearing what appears to be a motorcycle helmet, picking up several large rocks on the side of the road and lobbing them at Border Patrol vehicles as they pass by. The alleged attack occurred in Paramount, California, on June 7, during the height of the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots.

Bill Essayli, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, released video of the alleged violent rioter being picked up at the San Ysidro port of entry in San Diego. One federal officer was injured as a result of the attack.

According to Essayli, Reyna, whom he called a "dangerous felon," surrendered to federal authorities at the U.S.-Mexico border to face a felony charge of assault on a federal officer. He was apprehended by a U.S. Border Patrol officer who was inside of the vehicles damaged by the attack and "could have been killed in last month’s dangerous and reckless attack."

Essayli said that Reyna will make his initial appearance in federal court on Wednesday afternoon.

"To anyone who thinks they can attack federal officers and hide behind a mask or helmet, Reyna’s arrest today proves we can find and charge anyone who violates federal law," he said, adding, "Don’t touch our officers."

Commenting on the arrest, FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI "will never tolerate violence against those who serve and protect this country."

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also chimed in, posting on X, "You may remember Elpidio Reyna, a subject who allegedly threw rocks at federal officers during immigration operations in California June 7. We got him."

"Those who attack America’s police officers can run but they can’t hide," said Bongino.

Violent and fiery riots erupted across Los Angeles for several days in response to ICE activity in the area. The Trump administration deployed 700 Marines and federalized roughly 4,000 National Guard soldiers to Los Angeles to quell the riots. The move was harshly criticized as unnecessary and illegal by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass and other Democrats.

Newsom sued the Trump administration for deploying California National Guard troops despite his opposition. He argued that the National Guard troops were likely violating the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits troops from conducting civilian law enforcement on U.S. soil.

The governor won an early victory in the case after a federal judge ruled the Guard deployment was illegal and exceeded Trump’s authority. An appeals court tossed that order, and control of the troops remained with the federal government. The federal court is set to hear arguments next month on whether the troops are violating the Posse Comitatus Act.

Fever star Sophie Cunningham hit with fine from WNBA for TikTok video criticizing referees

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has not shied away from speaking her mind this season, but this time, the WNBA is hitting her wallet for it. 

Cunningham revealed that a recent TikTok post, where she called out "some refs" in the WNBA, led to a $500 fine. 

"I got fined $500 for this TikTok," Cunningham wrote on X with laughing emojis. "[I don’t know] why this is funny to me…like ok [thumb emoji] you got it bud! Cause there’s not more important things to be worried about with our league right now."

In the video, Cunningham wrote "@ some refs" and was lip-syncing the lyrics from pop star Sabrina Carpenter’s song "Manchild."

"Stupid. Or is it slow? Maybe, it’s useless," the song went as Cunningham lip-synced the words. 

While she didn’t elaborate, the "more important things to be worried about" that Cunningham likely referenced may pertain to the players’ current message surrounding the ongoing negotiations between the league and the players’ union over a new collective bargaining agreement.

WNBA players have expressed a desire for more money, which was on full display with t-shirts reading "Pay Us What You Owe Us" before the All-Star Game last weekend. 

Cunningham may not have been playing in the game, but she recently brought WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert into a conversation with a reporter. 

"You can just tell Cathy to pay us, and then we can have a discussion," Cunningham said when asked whether the WNBA season is too long or too short.

Cunningham, who has taken on the role of enforcer with the Fever, has called out referees and the league in the past for not protecting superstar teammate Caitlin Clark. 

She threw a jab last month when talking about her fiery nature on the court, specifically when she came to the defense of Clark against the Connecticut Sun. She got into a brawl with Sun guard Jacy Sheldon, who poked Clark in the eye earlier in the game. They were both ejected from the game with 40 seconds left, but Cunningham wasn’t done airing out her grievances at the time. 

"During that, it was just part of the game. I think the refs had a lot to do with that," she said. "It was a build-up for a couple years now of them just not protecting the star player of the WNBA. At the end of the day, I'm going to protect my teammates. That's what I do." 

Cunningham has received a large following on social media since joining the Fever this season after six years playing for the Phoenix Mercury. Over 19 games this season (two starts), she has averaged 7.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and is shooting 40% from three-point territory in her 23.5 minutes per game off the bench.
