A Border Patrol agent in northern Vermont was fatally shot in the neck by what is reported to be an illegal immigrant, just after President Donald Trump was being sworn in hundreds of mile in Washington on a promise to deem the border crisis a "national emergency" on his first day in office.

NewsNation's Ali Bradley reported Monday that the border agent was shot while conducting a traffic stop. The shooter, whom Bradley referred to as a "visa overstay," was also reportedly killed.

“The shooter, whom Bradley referred to as a “visa overstay,” was also reportedly killed.”

Swift Justice.

Will the perp’s body be deported?

Leave the body on the side of the road. Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.

Unfortunately, we may be seeing more Border Patrol Agents getting attacked and shot as they carry out their duties.

Drop the scumbag’s body on Biden’s roof.

Prayers for the ICE agent’s family.

“”President Donald Trump was being sworn in hundreds of mile in Washington “”

Proof reading isn’t one of Newsweek’s objectives for the new year.

Unfortunately there will be more of this. We need to pray without ceasing for our border patrol agents who will be carrying out a very dangerous operation.

Absolutely, all Americans need to be increasingly on guard with situational awareness.

Bad things are likely to ramp up going forward. Four years of Bidens carcass being used daily by Obamas Intelligence Agencies and State Department traitors have left our nation in perilous times.

A lot of these illegal aliens are in the enemy combatant category.
I bet the military will be on both borders before it’s secured.

Can the body be peed on by a dog, first?

These crimes demand the death penalty, with no shilly shally years upon year of appeals. Luckily in this case, the amigo got instant justice.

Unlike E.T, this one won’t be phoning home at all.

This was about five miles from where my parents lived out their retirement. My Dad was a selectman in Derby (the next exit up the interstate.)

They lived about a mile from the border. There was an old railway that had been converted to a bike path that went through their back yard. This path went from Newport to the border. There was minimal border patrol presence in the area.

My mom would tell me quietly how often they had to call the State Police to report strangers walking down the bike path speaking in languages they did not recognize. She did not want to worry us kids.

That border is pretty porous, and there are miles and miles of it where there is simply no one or nothing to stop entry.

I feel bad for the border agents having to deal with those clowns.

What a pathetic headline too. That was a meaningless juxtaposition.
