SEATTLE - In recent months, migrants trying to cross into the United States have reported an increase in abuses from Border Patrol and Texas National Guard agents. But in New Mexico, there are increasing reports about opposed situations, as federal prosecutors continue to charge individuals with assaulting U.S. Border Patrol agents
According to a joint statement from U.S. Attorney Alexander Uballez of Las Cruces, El Paso Border Patrol Chief Agent Scott Good, and FBI Special Agent in Charge Raul Bujanda of Albuquerque, recent such cases in New Mexico "highlight the risks faced by federal officers and the Department of Justice's commitment to their safety and security."
