Border Patrol agents were reportedly ambushed by a gunman in McAllen, Texas, on Monday morning, causing a scene and drawing speculation that this may have been a deliberate attack against federal agents and local law enforcement.
According to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, “an active shooter with a rifle & tactical gear ambushed Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a local Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, TX this morning.”
Melugin said he was told no federal agents were injured, but one local Texas law enforcement officer “may have been shot, but is in stable condition.”
According to the outlet, the alleged gunman was killed by return fire from agents and local police.
Melugin shared this statement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on X:
Border Czar Tom Homan said recently that attacks on ICE officers have skyrocketed to nearly “700 percent” over the past few weeks, slamming radical-left lawmakers for demonizing ICE and Border Patrol, and adding fuel to the political fire against American law enforcement.
“…We have senators, we have congress-people, that compare ICE to the Nazis, compare ICE to racists. And it just continues. So the public thinks, ‘Well, a member of Congress can attack ICE, why can’t we?’ So, the rhetoric has to stop, or it’s a matter of time before one of the ICE officers goes down or a criminal goes down,” he said.
This is a developing story.
