CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Mexicans are seething over the second death of a countryman at the hands of U.S. Border Patrol agents in two weeks, an incident near downtown El Paso that is threatening to escalate tensions over migrant issues.
U.S. authorities said Tuesday a Border Patrol agent was defending himself and colleagues when he fatally shot the 15-year-old as officers came under a barrage of big stones while trying to detain illegal immigrants on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande.

Is seems that Mexico was caught on camera tampering with the evidence:
Chihuahua state Attorney General’s office said 40 caliber shell casing was found near the body which would mean US Border Patrol shot inside Mexico. However, a US official, said video shows the Border Patrol agent did not enter Mexico.
An unidentified US official said the video also shows 4 Mexican officers walking across to the US side, picking up an undetermined object and returning to Mexico near the area where the boy’s body was.
Were they planting the 40 caliber shell casing?
Is Mexico planning for another Ramos and Compean?
Bummer. Looks like the Border Patrol aganet needs more target practice since he failed to kill the other illegal immagrants.
Reality here is they left witnesses.
Give ‘em all a dirt nap
Concur.
Don’t like it, go home.
If the border was enforced all these years then this sort of stuff never would of occurred. Its only after years of a lax attitude by our government towards the border that the illegals feel entitled to come over whenever they please.
It’s unbelievable that the Mexican officials see NOTHING wrong with their people invading our country and attacking our border control, yet whine when one of our agents defends himself.
But sadly, our government usually sides with the opposition.
how do you say “ef ‘em” in spanish?
Hey Mexico... STFU! Your people kill ours all the time and you don’t give a rat’s rear end. Isn’t payback fun?
“Mexicans are seething over the second death of a countryman at the hands of U.S. Border Patrol agents in two weeks”
Well WE’RE seething with anger that OUR countrymen are being murdered on a regular basis by mexican border jumpers and cartel hit men. Hit us long enough, we’re gonna hit BACK!
Don’t bring stones to a gun fight.
Yawn and double yawn.
simple solution - y’all stay on your side and we’ll stay on ours
An unfortunate incident, but it’s not an unexpected outcome when your countrymen have turned the border into a lawless zone. Perhaps the parents should have explained this to their son.
