Fox News
Five people have been arrested after a Border Patrol agent was assaulted by a smuggler while trying to arrest migrants trying to get into the U.S. via the southern border in San Diego, California.
The agent was assaulted last week near the San Ysidro port of entry, while trying to arrest the 12-15 migrants who were between two border walls in the area. After seeing the agent, the group fled back to Mexico -- but as the agent retrieved the ladder they’d used, a smuggler hit her with what is believed to be a 2x4. The agent was later treated at a local hospital for contusions and facial lacerations after being helped by colleagues.More Related News
