The FBI has identified a masked protester who is accused of assaulting a federal officer during heated demonstrations against federal immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles over the weekend.

In a June 9 post on social media platform X, the FBI stated that it had identified the man as Elpidio Reyna, 40, of Compton, California. A reward of up to $50,000 is available for anyone with information leading to his arrest or conviction, the post stated.
“That guy has just been identified, and they are doing a search warrant on his house, as we speak. And he has been identified ... his name is [Reyna]. He is going to be on the Most Wanted list,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said during an appearance on “Hannity” with Fox News on June 9.
