A U.S. Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was attacked and overrun Wednesday night along the Arizona-Mexico.
According to the Border Patrol authorities, an unknown number of gunmen attacked a site in the state’s West Desert Region around 11 p.m. The site is being manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat from the site.
The Border Patrol has not confirmed whether shots were fired. However, no Guardsmen were reported injured in the incident.
The Border Patrol states the incident occurred somewhere along the 120 mile section of the border between Nogales and Lukeville. The area is known as a drug corridor.
I cannot believe our people were overrun were any of them armed? Those units should be allowed to fire back at these people. it’s time to put armored vehicles on those those bases. these people should be considered terroists and dealt with.
