US border patrol detained 42 people for illegal entry. Unclear if they will be deported
No criminal charges will be filed against the 42 migrants arrested in a clash that ended with US authorities firing teargas into Mexico.
Rodney Scott, chief of the border patrol’s San Diego sector, has said those arrested for illegal entry included 27 men, with the rest being women and children.
The incident occurred at the border in Tijuana,... As frustrations began to mount over the long wait, migrants marched to the border Sunday to appeal for the US to speed things up. It turned unruly when four agents were struck with rocks or projectiles and authorities responded by launching teargas and pepper spray balls to quell the unrest.
But in the end, none of the 42 people had charges brought against them for illegally entering the country or any other counts.
Customs and Border Protection, the border patrol’s parent agency, referred only two cases to the justice department for prosecution and charges were not filed because the accused had medical problems that prevented them from being held in San Diego’s detention center, according to a US official familiar with the cases who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Many others were not referred to the justice department because they were children or parents accompanying children, the official said.
The other adults were not prosecuted because Customs and Border Protection didn'tt have enough information to pursue charges, including the name of the arresting officers, according to the official, who said it was an extremely chaotic scene.
The fate of the 42 immigrants remains unclear. Customs and Border Protection declined to discuss why charges were not filed but said they still may be subject to deportation.

They shouldn’t face charges. They were just dumb pawns. The people who should face charges are the organizers behind it, which was a coalition of various groups, including everybody from George Soros to the Quakers (who were particularly involved) and other liberal religious organizations.
Yes, they should face charges, dumb or not. That will prevent the rest of the dumb effers from joining up in this stuff. They are NOT innocent!
They are ALL culpable.
In this country, ignorance of the law it’s not an excuse.
Here’s how: Build a facility with a wall on three sides, and the open side faces Mexico. When the “refuges” are processed, release them into the facility. They have been released into the US, and they are free to move around, BUT the only open direction is back into Mexico. Have a nice day!
Catch and Re-lease to Soros for the next mercenary plot
Why should our Border Patrolmen have to take this violence and abuse?
It is so wrong.
New asylum or entry laws = If you physically attack us or any part of our border wall, fence, or apparatus You will be Permanently Denied Entry to the U.S.A.
We don’t need more violent disrespectful psycho uncontrollable criminals.
