The ongoing border crisis in America under President Joe Biden’s administration continues to escalate.
In a recent incident near El Paso, Texas, a Border Patrol agent was targeted by armed individuals from the Mexican side of the border in San Elizario. Despite being fired upon, the agent responded with gunfire, as confirmed by CBP officials.
Fortunately, no injuries were sustained during the exchange. An internal alert from CBP revealed that the armed individuals did not manage to cross into the United States.
A person in Mexico shot at a U.S. Border Patrol agent during a “use of force” incident near San Elizario, authorities said.
The shooting happened before 1:30 p.m. Thursday, April 25, at the U.S.-Mexico border near the San Elizario area.
The agent came “under fire from the Mexican side” of the border, a law enforcement source told the El Paso Times. The shooting was described as a “use of force incident.”
Ali Bradley reported that aside from the incident on Thursday, there was another occurrence last week in the El Paso sector involving an unauthorized immigrant who was attacking other individuals.
A National Guard soldier deployed as part of Operation Lonestar intervened and shot the assailant.

The main issue stems from the Federal Government’s failure to fulfill its duty of securing the border, as outlined in Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution.
During a February appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas avoided taking any responsibility for the ongoing border crisis.
“Do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border?” Kristin Welker asked.
“We don’t bear responsibility for a broken system,” Mayorkas continued.

Under the Biden administration, an astonishing 10 to 12 million unauthorized immigrants have entered the United States since January 2021.
This figure is equivalent to the population of 41 separate states.
