Illegal immigrant stabs two others, flees back into Mexico after being shot by National Guardsman

An illegal immigrant was shot by a National Guardsman after stabbing two individuals on Sunday in El Paso, Texas. Those stabbed had non-life-threatening injuries.

A memo was sent out about the stabbing and shooting incident in El Paso Texas by the border and posted by News Nation reporter Ali Bradley.  

The memo detailing the incident stated, "On April 14, 2024, at approximately 13:10 hours, [Border Patrol] was notified by Army Personnel that a migrant was seen stabbing another migrant south of the C-wire, by the river's edge." 

The illegal immigrant was then shot by a National Guardsman who was from Indiana and the foreign national "fled back south to Mexico." 

"According to Army Personnel and DPS Trooper a National Guardsman shot a subject, who subsequently went back south to Mexico. TX Department of Public Safety Trooper (TX DPS) was contacted, and EMS was contacted. As per agents, two subjects (suspected UNCs) sustained non-life threating injuries," the memo added.  

A statement from the National Guard of Indiana in response to the shooting said, "The Indiana National Guard is aware of the incident that happened Sunday, April 14. We support and care for our soldiers and airmen who are supporting Operation Lone Star." 

The incident is part of a pattern of increased violence at the border as security has remained lax under the Biden administration. In March a group of illegal immigrants started a riot at the border, assaulting Border Patrol officers and tearing down a barrier in the process.  

Criminal activity from illegal immigrants who have crossed the border as well as border security in general has ramped up as a top issue of concern for Americans over the last several years and recent polls have shown that citizens believe that former President Donald Trump did a better job at handling the border than Biden.
