Female Border Patrol Agent Allegedly ‘Violently Assaulted’ By Illegal Immigrant: Report | Eastern North Carolina Now

    An illegal immigrant allegedly "violently assaulted" a female Border Patrol agent who was taking him into custody in Arizona, according to a new report.

    Citing federal sources, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reported on social media that the agent was injured while trying to arrest the man in the Tucson Sector of Arizona border with Mexico early Saturday morning.

    A statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed an assault occurred but did not share details about the gender of the alleged assailant or the victim. Their names have not been released as of press time.

    "On March 4, 2023, at approximately 4:00 a.m., a U.S. Border Patrol agent assigned to the Tucson Sector took a subject into custody near Foudy Road and State Route 92, after investigating the subject's illegal entry into the U.S.," the CBP statement said.

    "While being placed in a service vehicle, the subject assaulted the agent, injuring the agent's face and hands. Additional agents responded and took the suspect into custody," the statement continued. "The assaulted agent was transported for medical treatment."

    The statement said the FBI and local authorities are investigating. The Daily Wire reached out to the FBI for comment.

    Border authorities encountered more than 2 million arrests in fiscal year 2022, according to CBP data, a significant increase over the prior year. Republicans often criticize President Joe Biden for not doing more to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, not only to stop illegal crossings but also the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl.

    The report from Melugin prompted a stern response from one GOP lawmaker who recently proposed a border security bill. "It's time to end this," tweeted Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). "I will not tolerate a [House GOP] that does not end this. We have the power."

Considering the renewed and unequalled dishonesty in elected politicians, at all levels of governing, and their associative nefarious bureaucrats doing their corrupt bidding: What is your opinion of YOUR government, and what do you intend to do about it?

  Today's overall government is just fine, and I will continue to vote for politicians that make promises to suit my individual needs.

  Today's overall government is poor, but I will continue to endeavor to learn what is true from the the most honest of media, and pick those representatives that best represent what is good and decent.

  I spend quite a bit of time on Eastern NC NOW; so ... I am having a far easier time separating the proverbial "wheat from the chaff" in finding honorable citizens to support.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?

  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.

  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.

  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.
