As large group of illegal immigrants attempted to cross over the US border on Monday, one of the illegal border crossers immigrants attacked a US Border Patrol agent with a flag pole, prompting agents to initiate crowd control measures.
The group of Venezuelan nationals eventually dispersed and were forced back over the border into Mexico, the Washington Examiner reports.
According to a statement released by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the group of illegal immigrants were protesting along the Rio Grande River International Boundary near downtown El Paso when some of the protesters attempted to illegally enter the United States.
Video footage widely circulated online shows the CBP reponse to the proceding attack, including the firing of pepper balls to control the crowd and pushing them back into the river. According to a statement from agency, one of the protesters assulted an agent with a flag pole while another threw rocks, injuring an agent.
The protests were a response to Venezuelan nationals now being included in the Title 42 public health order, implenented by Trump to allow for the rapid expulsion of migrants, and reinstated by Biden specifically with regard to Venezeulan nationals.
Previously, Venezuelan immigrants would be apprehended and released into the US, but under this change to the law they will now be sent back and released into Mexico.
The US border with Mexico has long been a contentious issue amongst politicians. It is believed that the Biden administration's rolling back of Trump-implemented border securities has resulted in an increase of attempted crossings, with many immigrants ending up on US soil.
With many areas reporting being overwhelmed by illegal immigration in recent months, the Biden administration has beenwidely criticized for not doing enough to slow down the waves on illegal crossings into the US Under Biden's watch, the United States has seen a record number of illegal migrants showing up at the US-Mexico border.
