On Monday a man was shot and killed outside a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas after he allegedly ambushed law enforcement officers armed with a rifle and tactical gear. One police officer may have sustained injuries after being shot. The attack comes just days after another violent attack on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
“BREAKING: Three federal & TX law enforcement sources tell me an active shooter with a rifle & tactical gear ambushed Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, TX this morning,” Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin said. “Local police and federal agents returned fire, killing him. I’m told this was a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents and a press conference is planned for later this morning. No federal agents injured. Im told a McAllen police officer may have been shot, but is in stable condition.”

It is unknown at this time whether Monday’s attack is directly linked to the attack against immigration agents on Friday.
“A police officer was shot while responding to a mob attack at an immigration detention center in Texas over the weekend, according to authorities,” Dan Lyman said on Infowars Sunday. “The disturbing incident unfolded on Friday night at the ICE Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvarado. More than a dozen masked suspects ‘dressed in black’ reportedly launched fireworks and damaged vehicles and security cameras in the parking lot ‘in an apparent effort to lure law enforcement,’ sources told CBS News.”
Last week open-borders militants also sabotaged an ICE arrest in Detroit, Michigan.
“Several people were arrested after pro-invasion radicals swarmed federal authorities during an immigration enforcement operation in Michigan this week, according to reports,” Dan Lyman said July 1 on Infowars. “Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), working alongside partner agencies, was serving a search warrant at a residence where a twice-deported illegal alien was hiding after he evaded ICE officers when a mob of left-wing activists arrived to protest and interfere, Metro Detroit News reports.”
