BORDER PATROL AGENTS GO INTO MEXICO IN PURSUIT OF MIGRANTS Officials in the US and Mexico are investigating the possibility that US Border Patrol agents crossed into Mexico to arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Dozens of witnesses claim to have seen two agents cross the border just east of the Calexico border crossing and arrest a number of people.
At this area of the border there is no fence or other border marker. The All-American Canal does closely track the border here, but in places it is much as a mile north of the border. According to the Mexican consul in Calexico, one of the agents went half a mile into Mexico in pursuit of a group of seven migrants. Border Patrol officials have met with Mexican government officials.
According to a Border Patrol representative, the four people who were arrested were given voluntary departure to Mexico. < Back | Disclaimer: This newsletter is provided as a public service and not intended to establish an attorney client relationship.
