One Border patrol Agent dead, another seriously wounded.

We do know that two Border Patrol agents working as partners in the Van Horn Station area of responsibility of the Big Bend Sector responded to “activity.” Whether the activity was an activated sensor or something else is currently unknown. This occurred on the morning of Sunday, November 19, 2017.

One of the Border Patrol agents later radioed in to the communication center saying that he needed assistance and that he was injured. Other Border Patrol agents responded and found one agent injured and unconscious with injuries to his head and body. That agent, Rogelio Martinez, was later pronounced dead. Breitbart has learned that the agent’s family has been notified.

It never ends, does it?

Adding this link that seems to have many stories originating in Mexico;

R.I.P Trooper... I feel for these guys. Some of those areas are very desolate, and apparently have minimal back up and really sucky Rules of Engagement.

Early word is possible ambush by dopers.

I grew up in Eastern Arizona in the 1970's. it's always had it's dangers, but I can't imagine what it would be like now.
I'm not sure how secure I would feel about riding motorcycles around the desert in that area anymore.
Perhaps to make a point, portraits of LEO'a who have died protecting our border should be painted on Trump's wall.

There was one incident when Bush deployed the NG to the border where a group of AK-wielding crossers (likely drug cartel members) approached a NG unit in a "military fashion" by spreading out and attmepting to flank them. The response, because of the ROE, led to the NG unit withdrawing. Should have killed every motherf***er among them.

Odds are, main stream news won’t bother to cover it, or if they do, it will be just a blurb. ��

If you want the public to understand the necessity of that wall you need to attach the names of the LEO's who died standing watch over the border and gave their lives to keep American Citizens safe.

They, the Guard units, were most likely unarmed. None of the ones I ever saw were armed and were used for surveillance and construction.

Yes, yes and not really in my opinion.
