CBP: 42 Caravan Members Arrested on U.S. Soil Sunday; 'Unconscionable' to Take Children Into That Situation
(CNSNews.com) - Rodney Scott, the chief Border Patrol agent for San Diego Sector, told CNN on Monday that the migrant protests in Tijuana on Sunday were not exactly peaceful; that the majority of those rushing the U.S. border were men, some of whom pushed women and children ahead of them; and that 42 people were arrested after making it onto U.S. soil illegally, never stopping to request asylum.
Scott also defended his agents' use of tear gas after some in the crowd threw rocks at Border Patrol agents.
We ended up making about 42 arrests. Only eight of those were females and there were only a few children involved. The vast majority of the people we're dealing with are adult males.
