Armed bandits robbing migrants at the southern border (USBP Chief Jason Owens)

Border patrol agents in California shot and killed a bandit who was robbing other migrants as they crossed into the U.S. from Mexico.

Multiple U.S. Customs and Border Protection sources confirmed that a criminal migrant who crossed the border in the San Diego sector was shot and killed by a member of the Border Patrol’s elite Border Patrol Tactical unit, or BORTAC, early Sunday morning.

The incident happened in a remote area where the bandits had been seen crossing into the U.S., robbing migrants and returning to Mexico.

Border Patrol agents responded to "bandit activity" on Sunday morning, when they came across a small group of bandits who were robbing migrants as they were walking to an area where migrants surrender to agents so they can be processed.

One of the bandits was shot and killed while the others returned to Mexico. None of the Border Patrol agents were harmed during the encounter.

The 26th Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Jason Owens, shared images of armed bandits on Feb. 26, 2024, on the social media platform X.

"USBP surveillance technology near Chula Vista, CA captured these images of armed bandits robbing several groups as they attempted to enter the country illegally," the chief posted. "Yet another example of the dangers these criminals & smugglers pose to the public, the migrants and our agents."

This is OK, the banditos are migrants too, just looking for more profitable employment. Probably safer to rob them on the Mexico side of the border though.

Sure, they shoot a criminal alien when they commit crimes against illegal invaders, but when they commit crimes against American citizens, crickets - they don’t arrest or convict them, they just load up another debit card and check them into a taxpayer funded hotel room. FJB...

Can’t have bandits usurping the regime’s authority on the invaders. /s

Maybe they ought to care about who they’re releasing into the states a bit more.

Interesting twist, as are some of the comments here.

Robbing migrants? First off they arent migrants, but rather criminals lookijg to break our laws-

Secondly we are told those illegals are coming here because they are so economically depressed that they can’t even afford basic necessities, and that we should take them in because of our compassionate nature.
