From Associated Press:
Border Patrol agent fires at armed militia member
A Border Patrol agent pursuing a group of immigrants in a wooded area near the Texas-Mexico border on Friday fired several shots at an armed man who later identified himself as a militia member.
Border Patrol spokesman Omar Zamora said agents had been chasing a group of immigrants east of Brownsville Friday afternoon when an agent saw a man holding a gun near the Rio Grande. The agent fired four shots, but did not hit the man. The man then dropped his gun and identified himself as a member of a militia. Zamora said no other details were immediately available.
Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio, whose agency is involved in the investigation, said the incident occurred on private property and it appeared the man had permission to be there. He was not arrested, Lucio said.
But the border is secure:
But Lucio said, "We really don't need the militia here." He recognized they have the right to carry weapons, but noted that with the Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement, there are enough agencies working to secure the border.
Two observations:
#1) - bias from Associated Press - these are absolutely NOT immigrants. These are people breaking the law - they are illegal; and
#2) - what caused the agent to have to pursue a group of illegals if the border is so secure.
This is a direct violation of rule two and rule four. Thank God that the agent was incompetent enough to also violate rule three...
