A pair of Central American men believed to be unauthorized immigrants were charged Friday in federal court in San Diego for allegedly assaulting U.S. Border Patrol agents in separate incidents Thursday night near Imperial Beach.
One of the men was from Honduras and the other from El Salvador, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which alleged that one man elbowed an agent and the other tried unsuccessfully to punch another agent.
A statement from federal prosecutors did not say whether either man was believed to have reached the border in the large caravan of asylum-hopeful migrants from Central America that arrived earlier this month in Tijuana.
