That’s a good article. It answers many of the questions I see in the comments.

Not their limit, they can work all over the US. We’re almost 250 miles from the Border and they check the rail yards here regularly. The oil fields are a magnet for illegals.

“Maybe we can hang the hero who ended it out to dry.”

That is exactly what the Bush Just-us Dept did.

https://www.foxnews.com/story/2-border-patrol-agents-turn-themselves-in-for-shooting-mexican-drug-runner

“Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean began serving 11- and 12-year prison sentences, respectively, for the February 2005 non-fatal shooting of Osvaldo Aldrete Davila.”

I remember THIS was the tipping point for me on Bush, the Lesser. Even though I did not vote for him in 2004. This is the one that turned me into a hater of all things Bush.

Yeah, I guess they have to go where the illegals are.

“There is a BP Office in Uvalde, TX.
Likely BP officers have kids in the local schools.”

The UK Mail says they do. Some even jammed in there to get their children and other children out via the windows.

“They also have jurisdiction with 100 miles”

Here in Arizona, Border Patrol Agents are cross certified by the different counties. Even non border counties.

What do you mean by cross certified? I am a Border Patrol Agent in Arizona and I have never been cross certified.

As a matter of fact in AZ we are not considered law enforcement agents. We can and do back up the police in serious matters but we don’t have police powers.

We do not even have the authority to remove protesters from our station, in order to that we have to be deputized by the sheriff.

“Why were they there?”

Because many of them live there.
Why are articles written with such dumb questions asked?

Titles like US Marshal and Fire Marshal are spelled with one L. Names like Penny Marshall and Marshall Tucker are spelled with two.

When Paul Babeu was Sheriff of Pinal County, he told me that all the agents in Pinal and the border counties were cross P.O.S.T. certified.
Was he incorrect?
If I am wrong, please accept my apology.

6. He was reportedly getting a haircut in a nearby barbershop and borrowed the barber’s shotgun.

Lots of attempts to smear law enforcement people by the media.

Don’t fall for their smear jobs, incompetence and leftism!

Because the wife of the BP agent was a teacher and she texted him.

I still believe the delay in going in was intentional and directed by higher ups for political reasons. They need this national outcry. But the video of the parents screaming at the un prepared police to do something go in and get my children out while they are standing around and the gunman was inside the school for over an hour tells the tale
