Violence against Border Patrol agents continued to spiral this week with authorities reporting one agent held at gunpoint by an illegal immigrant in California, and two agents in Arizona facing attacks by hand.
In the California incident agents responded Monday morning to a report that two illegal immigrants had been detected crossing the border on foot. The first man was apprehended without any problem, but the second, Hector Rodriguez-Chavez, aimed a loaded Star Echeverria pistol at an agent.
The agent and Rodriguez struggled for the gun, and even the help of two other agents was not enough to pry the weapon from Rodriguez’s hand, the agents said in court documents.
Finally, one of the agents used his taser on Rodriguez, who dropped the pistol and stopped resisting.
Agents later found that he’d been deported back to Mexico at least five times before, dating back more than 20 years. His most recent ouster was in October 2017. He also had convictions in the U.S. for violent drug crimes and firearms offenses.
“Our agents’ vigilance prevented this dangerous person from illegally re-entering our communities,” said Rodney S. Scott, chief agent for the Border Patrol’s San Diego sector.
The Arizona assaults both happened Tuesday.
In one, agents were trying to arrest four illegal immigrants when one of them, a 25-year-old Guatemalan man, threw dirt in an agent’s face then swung his belt, trying to use the buckle as a weapon to strike the agent.
He was subdued and put into a vehicle, where he then spit in another agent’s face, authorities said.

Reagan: "Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so."
They're an Invasion force!
Thank you Border Patrol for keeping this crap out of our country.
Why isn’t he dead?

Send Geraldo down there to give the guy the “facts of life” talk.
Hector is going to be a great ‘RAT voter. Maybe he’ll even run for Speaker of the House.
Obxxx/holder fast and furious? A continuation of gwb’s effort? Only worse. Has attention Hogg weighed in?
Ya I’m shocked. Shocked. They are pulling guns like that?
I thought Geraldo said we should reason with them, explain things?
Pretty serious stuff. Border patrols job is very dangerous. The Drug Cartels are some really bad vermin.
Yes, they deserve praise. It is a very dangerous difficult job.
Invasion indeed. (I did not write the article, smile)
As soon as that weapon showed up the BP should’ve ventilated the wetback bastard.
F a buncha tasers.
Geraldo would not survive long, near the border.
Speaker of the House? Out House?
Hogg? Whimp.
Soros suckling.
But they’re all just here to work and to have a better life. CNN told me.
Yes, they deserve praise. It is a very dangerous difficult job.
and for many years and even today a thankless job.....
I think the caravan incident has toned down that. That makes the job much more dangerous.
It is not fair to the Border Patrol.
It is time that Soros was punished for starting this mess.

I would not be surprised, — if this was another one from the (2010) ...…. “Fast and Furious” Gun Operation Event(s).
