A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent was assaulted near Eagle Pass, Texas, while he arrested a Mexican illegal alien and convicted drug-dealing felon who was previously deported several times, the government announced.
The assault comes as border-jumpers and human traffickers are becoming emboldened on the nation’s increasingly lawless southern border. Democrat resistance to President Trump’s plan to erect a border wall and lawmakers’ refusal to properly fund immigration enforcement efforts have no doubt made the already-dangerous border situation worse.
