Can you believe this Illegal alien, 17 year old juvenile, attempts to run down Border Patrol agent?
YUMA, Ariz. - A U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol agent from Yuma was the latest victim of violence Wednesday as he attempted to stop a fleeing vehicle, driven by a 17-year-old smuggling illegal immigrants.
At 5 p.m. a remote video surveillance system camera operator witnessed a large group of suspected illegal immigrants cross the Salinity Canal near County 9th Street in Yuma. The camera operator notified Border Patrol agents in the area and watched as the group ran over the levee and proceeded eastbound before losing visual contact. A short time later, the camera operator alerted agents that a light-colored vehicle was heading west toward the last known location of the group. The operator lost visual contact with the vehicle momentarily before it reappeared traveling east toward Yuma.
Agents spotted the vehicle as it approached the intersection of County 9th Street and Somerton Avenue. An agent attempted to stop the 2007 Chevrolet Suburban but the driver ignored the agent's request and continued driving east before turning around and heading back toward the levee and the Colorado River. The agent then attempted to deploy a controlled tire deflation device to stop the Suburban. As the vehicle approached the agent's position, the driver accelerated and veered toward the agent in an attempt to hit him. The agent quickly moved out of the way and avoided injury. The vehicle turned around again and headed east towards Yuma. As the vehicle approached Yuma city limits the agent lost sight of the vehicle and contacted the Yuma Police Department with the vehicle's description and last known location and route of travel.
The California Highway Patrol contacted Border Patrol agents at 5:40 p.m. to report that a vehicle matching the description of the suspected smuggling vehicle had been located. After the driver failed to yield to CHP officers and was traveling on Interstate 8 at a high rate of speed, the vehicle became disabled. Two occupants attempted to flee but were located and apprehended after a brief search. A search of the vehicle revealed 16 additional people inside. All 18 occupants were taken into custody and were determined to be Mexican nationals illegally in the U.S. The agent that was nearly hit by the vehicle responded to the scene and positively identified the driver.
Additional information from CHP Officers revealed the vehicle was reported stolen from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico during an armed carjacking and was also being investigated by Mexican authorities.
Answer:
Of course I believe it. First off, they know it is illegal to cross over. They show a disregard for our laws and authority in our own country just to come here. Why would murdering one of our agents bother them in the slightest??

Tyler Texas trooper and a "routine" traffic stop that didn't end up very routine.
Sure I believe it, it happens often.
Our politicians have sold us out in favor of illegal aliens.
Not his fault. The Border Patrol agent flashed the wrong gang sign. Coulda happened to anybody.
Woah, Yeah, I believe it and agree with the first answer
Unfortunately yes I believe it.
The smuggling trade is vile--these people prey on themselves and each other. Buzzards.
Do you think they have any respect for anything or anyone?? Hardly.
we had agents out there being fired on with no bullets to fire back - they had to run.
they were also directed to stand down and not apprehend illegal immigrants - so if this story is true then it looks like their may be an attempt to enforce the laws.
Start annexing portions of Mexico right now and lock illegals in Jails there.
Are you so naive to believe that only "illegal" immigrants flee from the police?? or try to run police down???
Or are you just "immigrant bashing"....?
