TBS Today, July 29

A San Jose tattoo artist whose battle with ICE has made headlines in recent weeks is in trouble again after a Sunday morning crime spree in Berkeley, according to police and community reports.

Since early July, Bay Area immigrant rights groups have been rallying support for 31-year-old Guillermo Medina Reyes, saying he had been targeted for deportation due to his organizing work after serving time in prison for attempted murder.

On Sunday, police arrested Medina Reyes after he tried to take vehicles from several people, including a man whose toddler was in the backseat, a big rig trucker and a woman in her 60s who was pumping gas, authorities said.
