=== Seattle Jury Acquits ICE Attacker (05:46) ===

[00:00:00]  This illegal immigrant up in Seattle attacks ICE with this vehicle, crashes into him.
[00:00:04]  Watch what the jury from Seattle does at its trial.
[00:00:08]  This is unfing believable.
[00:00:10]  This is Washington, right?
[00:00:12]  Federal jury in Seattle has acquitted a man accused of assaulting federal agents during an immigration arrest last summer.
[00:00:18]  King5 Savannah Welch joins us live from the newsroom with the latest on this case.
[00:00:22]  Savannah, can you walk us through what happened here?
[00:00:25]  Well, Madeline, 25-year-old Victor Vivanko-Reyes was charged with four felonies after a chaotic run-in with federal agents.
[00:00:32]  DHS says he's an undocumented Mexican national and had an immigration warrant issued in May based on his criminal history.
[00:00:39]  He was previously convicted of a felony back in 2019.
[00:00:43]  Since then, he's had just one misdemeanor conviction on his record.
[00:00:47]  This video shows the arrest.
[00:00:48]  It happened back on June 6th on a remote Camino Island road.
[00:00:52]  Court documents show federal agents surveilled Vivanco Reyes for weeks.
[00:00:56]  They first tried to arrest him in Mount Vernon, but he got away.
[00:01:00]  About two weeks later, they used a helicopter to track him to a job site on Kameno Island.
[00:01:05]  That was where he was working as a landscaper.
[00:01:07]  Agents on the ground surrounded him as he tried to drive away an accompany truck hauling a lawnmower crashing into their vehicles.
[00:01:14]  He was arrested moments later.
[00:01:16]  Two agents suffered minor injuries in this.
[00:01:18]  Prosecutors say he used his truck as a dangerous weapon while trying to escape.
[00:01:24]  King 5 spoke with his partner when all this happened when he was detained.
[00:01:27]  She said he has a son and she was pregnant with their child at the time, calling the arrest devastating for their family.
[00:01:35]  So because he has a kid, his actions are justified.
[00:01:39]  Why else would you put this in your news story?
[00:01:42]  It has nothing to do with it.
[00:01:43]  Has absolutely nothing.
[00:01:45]  No revelance.
[00:01:46]  The despair.
[00:01:47]  If I was an attorney and we was in court and they bring that up, I say, Yona, objection, revelance.
[00:01:56]  Objection.
[00:01:57]  Revelance, Yanna.
[00:01:58]  It has nothing to do with the case.
[00:01:59]  Yeah.
[00:02:00]  Objection sustained.
[00:02:03]  Thank you, Yana.
[00:02:04]  Thank you.
[00:02:05]  Family.
[00:02:06]  The despair, the panic, the separations of families, the violence.
[00:02:14]  Hitting all the keynotes.
[00:02:15]  Your husband, boyfriend, whatever he is to you, he's the one being violent.
[00:02:21]  Yeah.
[00:02:22]  Convicted of a felon, right?
[00:02:24]  Why is it so bad for an illegal alien go to jail and not an American citizen?
[00:02:30]  I mean, that argument never comes up when an American citizen goes to prison for breaking law.
[00:02:36]  Oh man, you're ripping my family apart.
[00:02:39]  What's wrong with you people?
[00:02:41]  I got a kid.
[00:02:42]  I got a kid.
[00:02:42]  I got three kids.
[00:02:44]  You know, we tell American citizens, well, you should have thought about that before you committed a crime.
[00:02:50]  Yep.
[00:02:51]  You can't do the time to don't do the crime.
[00:02:54]  The chaos.
[00:02:55]  Like, I feel like it's all going to affect the future of this next coming generation.
[00:03:03]  King5 investigators also found border enforcement received help from the Washington Department of Licensing, something that is restricted under state law.
[00:03:12]  The Keep Washington Working Act limits state agencies from sharing private data with federal immigration enforcement.
[00:03:19]  Now, with all of this, attorneys for Vivanka Reyes told the court the entire encounter happened in less than 10 seconds.
[00:03:26]  They say he was just trying to get away and didn't intentionally use his truck to hurt the agents.
[00:03:30]  After a five-day trial, the jury found him not guilty on all counts.
[00:03:35]  Court records show he now remains in custody on an immigration hold.
[00:03:39]  In the newsroom, Savannah Welch, King5 News.
[00:03:41]  Immigration is still getting deported.
[00:03:43]  How does the jury find him not guilty?
[00:03:45]  Well, he's going to get deported anyway.
[00:03:47]  Guess he was cutting him some slack.
[00:03:49]  Well, look what this has started.
[00:03:50]  Watch this, man.
[00:03:51]  Watch what they're posting on TikTok, the crazy Democrats.
[00:03:54]  A jury in Seattle just acquitted a man of ramming his car into four ICE agents.
[00:04:00]  They looked at the mountain of evidence against him, which included neighbors rain cam, eyewitness testimony from officers, bystanders on the street, the helicopter circular.
[00:04:11]  They looked at the mountain of evidence against this guy, and they acquitted him within like five minutes.
[00:04:18]  If you live in Western Washington, you just got a green light to go beat the f ⁇ out of ICE agents until you run those stupid f ⁇ ks out of your community because there's not a single jury in your state that's going to convict you.
[00:04:29]  Wow.
[00:04:29]  See, he could be arrested for the things he just said.
[00:04:31]  Inciting violence.
[00:04:34]  Well.
[00:04:35]  But look, do you see what this is galvanizing?
[00:04:37]  Yeah.
[00:04:39]  The stupid.
[00:04:40]  No, they wasn't cutting him a break.
[00:04:42]  They was letting them go because that's a woke area and those people in that jury is a bunch of short-haired lesbians.
[00:04:48]  Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[00:04:48]  That's why.
[00:04:49]  Yeah.
[00:04:50]  Even them, when a state agency or a local locality, when they prevent information going to ICE, that's tech book case of obstruction in my book.
[00:05:02]  Like if you got an illegal alien, you just arrest them.
[00:05:06]  ICE puts an immigration hold on that person, and then they refuse to hold that person and release him back in to society.
[00:05:15]  That is obstruction.
[00:05:17]  That's obstruction.
[00:05:18]  Where they're not even informing ICE.
[00:05:20]  Yeah, I know.
[00:05:20]  That's obstruction too.
[00:05:22]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:05:22]  Yeah, but they already know there's an immigration hold on them.
[00:05:26]  And they release them out in society anyway.
[00:05:28]  That's obstruction.
[00:05:30]  I don't get it.
[00:05:32]  Well, what's it to get?
[00:05:33]  These people are sick in the head.
[00:05:34]  They ain't got brains.
[00:05:35]  Oh, like them bowling ball brains, you know.
[00:05:38]  They ain't got them nice thick grooves in it like we do.
[00:05:41]  Them damn brains smooth and slick like a bowling ball.

=== Losing Votes Risks Impeachment (02:24) ===

[00:05:46]  Look at all the damage he caused.
[00:05:48]  There was two vehicles damaged.
[00:05:49]  Said he wasn't trying to dance.
[00:05:51]  I wasn't trying to hurt nobody.
[00:05:52]  I was just trying to get away.
[00:05:54]  I got a kid at the house.
[00:05:55]  We got a family.
[00:05:57]  We got to put food on the table.
[00:05:59]  Y'all trying to rip my family apart.
[00:06:03]  And what we're going to do about these Democrats, man, these midterms, it's going to decide a lot for the direction of our country.
[00:06:12]  It's going to decide a lot for our country because if we're able to maintain the majority or gain some seats, then I will feel confident that our country is moving in the right direction because people in our society are saying, you know what?
[00:06:26]  Democrats, they've lost their minds.
[00:06:28]  We're going to, you know, from now on, I'm going to vote center right.
[00:06:33]  No longer going to vote far left.
[00:06:35]  I'm coming back to the center and I'm starting to lean right because these policies that Democrats are pushing is very dangerous to our community.
[00:06:43]  So, man, these midterms are going to be very important for the direction of our country.
[00:06:47]  If our country is willing to stand up and say, hey, I'm no longer voting far left, I'm going to vote center and lean right.
[00:06:53]  That's a good sign that, you know, majority of our society has the capacity to think outside the box.
[00:06:59]  That's thinking outside the box.
[00:07:01]  Yeah.
[00:07:02]  That's thinking like a logical, rational project.
[00:07:05]  For a Democrat, for a liberal, that's thinking outside the box.
[00:07:09]  Yeah, but I tell you what, if we lose the House, we lose the Senate.
[00:07:11]  I'm not saying we are, but if we lose those, the two houses in Congress, oh, Trump's getting impeached.
[00:07:16]  And he's getting, not only that, he's getting removed from office.
[00:07:20]  He's going to go to jail too.
[00:07:21]  And they're going to lock him up.
[00:07:22]  I guarantee it.
[00:07:23]  Because his last time he got impeached, both times it was like in the House.
[00:07:27]  That's because they had the votes.
[00:07:30]  Right now, they don't have the votes in the Senate or the House.
[00:07:32]  But when the midterms come and we lose that, oh, Trump, that ICE agent, he's going to jail too.
[00:07:38]  Yeah, all of them going to jail.
[00:07:40]  They're going to make an example out of them.
[00:07:41]  There's a lot riding on these midterms in this next presidential election.
[00:07:44]  If we lose, they are going after every Republican influencers, everybody that supports Trump.
[00:07:53]  Yeah, if you go after law enforcement, why wouldn't you go after influencers?
[00:07:57]  Makes common sense.
[00:07:58]  We help get them voted in office.
[00:08:00]  Gotta chop off the head of the snake.
[00:08:02]  Said that wrong, you dumb.
[00:08:05]  What do you mean?
[00:08:06]  Head of the snake is Trump.
[00:08:10]  Well, I'm the teller to
