Illegal immigrants appeared to have “ambushed” two U.S. Border Patrol agents near the Texas border with Mexico and bashed their heads with blunt objects -- possibly rocks -- killing one agent and sending another to a hospital in serious condition Sunday, a National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) official told Fox News.

Rogelio Martinez, 36, was killed and another agent, who has not been identified, was injured while they were patrolling the Big Bend Sector, leading authorities to scour West Texas for the attackers, officials said. Although few details about the incident have been released, Brandon Judd, the president of the NBPC, told Fox News on Monday it appeared Martinez and the second agent were “ambushed” by a group of illegal immigrants.

Something is wrong with all this. Usually this time of year, the illegals are going back to mexico because of the upcoming holidays. They just melt away this time of year and wouldn't be looking for a confrontation.

I suspect it was something other than your typical mexican pollos, something more like ISIS or drug cartels.

President Trump should have tweeted about this. No one knows about this. When did take place?

GWB should have slammed that border shut after 9-11.
His personal ties to those who profit from cheap illegal labor made him keep that useless “border” the way it is.
There was no better time than the day after 9-11 to build a real wall.

The MSM says these illegal aliens are just innocent little kids, women and good men that contribute to our society. They contribute to the murder, mayhem and robbery rates. Build the damn wall already!

And antifa undoubtedly cheers them on.

I think the correct response would be to close the U.S / Mexican border crossings for 3-4 as we ‘evaluate’ the situation.

The U.S military should own the first 1/2 mile around the entire border.

I guess the drivebys don’t realize most people are aware that rocks can’t bash someone’s head repeatedly unless that rock is being held by someone’s hand-this incident has the smell of the narco traficantes/cartels on it. Being raised on a W. Texas ranch very close to the border, I’ve heard about cartels doing this sh** for years...

Luis Gutierrez (D-Mexico) and Raul Grijalva (D-Mexico) think the ambush was just great.

That would be very plausible. The USBP frequently uses unpaved and unimproved backroads while on patrol. Around here lots of sandy berms along irrigation canals etc.

Are they also backing off on the way the injuries occurred?

Happen about 3 days ago......

snip

The FBI said the agents were found around 11:20 p.m. Saturday near Interstate 10.
Earlier that night, a law enforcement source tells CBS News that Martinez
radioed in that he was getting out of his vehicle and following a trail of possible
footprints in the dirt.

I think it was Hannity’s show... The union leader said some media reports say they fell down a small hill..

The cover up stinks..

One was murdered, the other attempted murder.

Build the damn wall. Democrats and GOPe have blood on their hands.
