U.S. border officials defend use of tear gas, pledge to deploy again if situation arises
Wendy Fry and Jeff McDonald
Federal law enforcement officials said Tuesday that agents will continue to use tear gas or a "less lethal" force at the U.S.-Mexico border if they are attacked again by rocks or other means.
They also said U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers did not target women and children during an incident Sunday afternoon, but if migrants huddling in Tijuana "choose to insert themselves into a violent crowd that's attacking officers with rocks and bottles," they will be subject to retaliation.
