SAN DIEGO – Four people were injured in a gunbattle today involving an attempt to smuggle illegal immigrants from Mexico at the busiest border crossing in the U.S., authorities said.
More than 70 people traveling in three vans involved in the incident were in federal custody, said U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Angelica DeCima.
Details remained sketchy, but van drivers tried to storm past inspectors at the San Ysidro port of entry and make their way into the U.S. without stopping, DeCima said.
“It was human smuggling, definitely,” said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Since they closed the border does this mean that only undocumented border crossings are going to be permitted in that area?
That would probably be a correct assumption.
70 people out of 3 vans? What were they driving clown cars?
“What were they driving clown cars?”
LOL
That’s pretty brazen, and disturbing.
““What were they driving clown cars?””
Sign on the door was “no lard asses allowed”!
