TUCSON, Ariz. – Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents were assaulted during two separate incidents west of Tucson Tuesday.   

The first assault occurred when agents disrupted a human smuggling attempt south of Three Points. While attempting to arrest four male suspects, one of the men became combative.

The 25 year-old Guatemalan national resisted arrest by throwing dirt at an agent’s face, and by swinging his belt and affixed buckle, attempting to strike the agent. After a struggle, the man was handcuffed by assisting agents and placed in a service vehicle, where he again assaulted another agent by spitting in his face.

Two illegal aliens from Mexico and Guatemala, along with an Arizona man, previously arrested by Border Patrol for smuggling, were arrested during this incident.

Later that evening, west of Three Points, another Border Patrol Agent was assaulted as he attempted to arrest an illegal alien. The agent, accompanied by a canine partner, tracked the man to a desolate desert area, where a 36-year-old Guatemalan national became combative, striking the agent several times. The agent eventually made the arrest by subduing and handcuffing the man.

Both combative men will face criminal charges for assaulting a federal agent. The illegal alien responsible for the second assault, was previously removed from the country in May for immigration violations.

One agent was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, and was released.

God help us! these invaders need to go! No reason they should be dealt with by any stretch of our laws when they illegally invade resist and assault BP/law enforcement.

To anyone with 1/4 of a functioning brain can see that person has no intention of obeying any laws here, assimilating or has ANY good purpose to be in the USofA.

Here's how this line should've read:

If I was that CBP that got spit in the face, I’d take him into a dark room with a baton and a sock to stuff in his mouth.

Some typical desert in Three Points.

I’m sure folks living along the border are not too happy with what’s going on....and might just be the ones who tip the scales to finally get a wall.

[DaveA37]

Invoke the “SSS” rule...…..Shoot, shovel and shut up. These attacks will continue until such happens. Law enforcement’s hands are tied and the invaders KNOW it.

Yep; should be able to shoot them on sight and let the carrion, coyote, and other native creatures eat the remains just like they do with any other dead animal.

If someone breaks into your house unwanted you have every right to kill them dead. This is no different.

shoot, leave to rot, and place body on a border billboard

I will be shocked if the illegal who on the agent is charged. We have been told in the past that if an alien hits an agent while we are trying to arrest them that it is not an assault. The reason according to the attorneys is that they were only trying to avoid arrest and did not intend to assault the agent. People would be suprised to realize that we can not charge aliens with resisting arrest.

Hog tie the punk with plastic ties then toss him into a Cholla on the Mexico side.

[\/\/ayne]

Jeez, you guys - you don't have to kill everyone. Just have undercover ICE (wearing a wire) go to employers pretending to be illegal. When hired, give them a citation for $10,000 fine. Also stop the free education and welfare for illegal aliens.

Suddenly it's too expensive to hire illegal aliens and businesses decide to self-police. With no job, no school and no welfare most illegals will go home by themselves. Then our current enforcement will be enough to clean up most of the rest. You don't have to shoot them.

[Salvavida]

This should have never made it as a press release. They should have taken him out to the desert for a tune up.

personally, i would close the border and surround san diego with troops and deport all illegals, tell the rest of the country leave now without penalty or if removed go to arizona tent city and be labor for the wall then deported
