WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the Sept. 26 arrest of Elias Cepeda, a violent rioter with suspected ties to Antifa and previous social media posts calling ICE Nazis, outside the ICE Broadview facility. He was carrying a loaded firearm and multiple rounds of ammunition. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), federal partners supporting Operation Midway Blitz, seized the gun.

According to his Linked-in, he is a journalist and is college professor at the University of Illinois.

“Elias Cepeda has suspected ties to the domestic terrorist organization ANTIFA and has a history of glorifying violence against—and the killing of—our brave law enforcement,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Violent individuals like Cepeda are putting the public and our law enforcement’s lives in danger. Just two days after the horrific attack on ICE in Dallas, Cepeda brought a loaded gun and multiple magazines to our ICE Broadview facility. Thank God law enforcement intervened and arrested Cepeda before he could have potentially shot or killed anyone. Let this serve as a stark warning to any individual who wishes to do our law enforcement harm or any ANTIFA terrorist: President Trump and Secretary Noem will fight every day to protect and defend the men and women who keep our country safe from violent extremists and criminal illegal aliens alike.”

Below are some of the most radical X posts from this suspected Antifa terrorist, which include multiple Antifa posts and posts calling ICE nazis and calling for killing of ICE officers."

Being recycled. No uncommon in right wing media.

They know their audience needs to be spoon fed validation of their prejudices. They know they don’t read, don’t really pay much attention, and have short attention spans.

"Suspected Antifa professor — who compared feds to Nazis — brought a loaded gun to anti-ICE protest: DHS

A college professor with suspected links to Antifa — and who believes Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are Nazis — was arrested in Chicago late last month after he allegedly brought a loaded gun to an anti-ICE protest.

Elias Cepeda, who is listed as a faculty member in the English department at Northeastern Illinois University, was collared on Sept. 26 with a loaded gun and multiple rounds of ammunition on him amid President Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz crackdown in the Windy City.

The Department of Homeland Security alleges Cepeda brought the loaded firearm with him to a demonstration outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Ill., the site of several violent protests.


“Elias Cepeda has suspected ties to the domestic terrorist organization ANTIFA and has a history of glorifying violence against—and the killing of—our brave law enforcement,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement."

Explain why right trash media is now yelling about an event that happened three weeks ago, as I have already documented.

Although te baseless smear in the “article” is a strong clue. No evidence exists to support the tabloid’s assertion that this man is a ‘,e,ber” of an organization that does not actually exist.

Right you are

I wonder where he is now?

Unfortunately our news media has a short attention span and there have no updates since then

He could be back on the street by now
