Lawmakers are demanding answers from CBP and DOJ on what is being done to tackle a significant rise in attacks on Border Patrol agents by illegal immigrants.
Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
"In FY23, CBP reported that 610 agents were assaulted, while in FY24 at least 413 agents were assaulted. Though these incidents primarily involve physical assault, CBP agents also endure a large percentage of assaults by other means, including through the use of projectiles, vehicles, and firearms," they say.
