The U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector said it has seen a "significant rise" in attacks on border agents by migrants and issued a warning on the legal consequences of assaulting a federal officer.


Sixty-six El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents have been assaulted in 2023-2024 fiscal year so far. The 2023-2024 fiscal year began on October 1, 2023, and ends September 30, 2024. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, 104 El Paso Sector agents were assaulted in 2022-2023 fiscal year.

"Assaulting federal agents is not just a crime; it is an affront to our principles of justice and the safety of our nation. The brave men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol and all our law enforcement partners that work alongside with us safeguarding our nation's borders," El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Anthony S. Good said in a statement.

"We will not tolerate any harm to the well-being of those dedicated to protecting others. Our law enforcement partners stand with us in bringing those responsible to justice."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If democrats condemn the violence against agents, don't let them fool you, they don't give a crap about them.  Any group who wants to defund the police could care less about border agents.
