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.

Correction; “Border Patrol Agents Assaulted by Future Democrats”.
All fixed now.
Some of these POSs need a good, old-fashion killin’.
These caravan is made up of animals. Still feel Trump should authorize another 5000 troops to the border fully armed. It is time to realize that this is war.
President Trump promised when he was campaigning that we would be informed about what is going on with the border and illegals. He was true to his word and the media and news releases tell quite a story. A story that is rarely reported by the MSM. If you want a real shocker start watching the ICE press releases as well as CBP. The shocker is how much the media refuses to cover.
You are so right. It is all about power and money...votes and money.
Seems like a GOOD place to leave him.
Shoot the SOBs
It is getting pretty serious on the border, and the left and the media are siding with the illegals. If that doesn’t tell everyone something, nothing will.
Should not have been a struggle, pull out service weapon and POP. All of these illegal invaders need to be taught lessons on civility and manners. No better way than a dirt nap
and when they get into American society, how they just acted towards authority is exactly how they will act towards their neighbors.

What about mob violence. Can a mob of citizens beat the snot out of them ‘til they beg Border Patrol to arrest them?
