A Texas National Guard member shot a migrant in the shoulder during an encounter in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas last week

This is the first known incident involving a service member shooting and injuring a migrant since Texas’ Operation Lone Star started in March 2021, according to the Army Times and Texas Tribune. Citing a Texas Military Department internal document, the outlets reported the shooting happened in the early morning of January 15 in an area west of McAllen, Texas, where the Border Patrol tracked a group of migrants to an abandoned house.

US Border Patrol agents assigned to the Rio Grande Valley as well as Texas Department of Public Safety personnel were also present during the shooting incident at about 4:12 a.m. CT January 15, according to US Customs and Border Protection spokesperson Rod Kise. “Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Professional Responsibility is reviewing the incident,” Kise said in an email.

What's the news here CNN?

What do you think would happen after thousands of illegal immigrants entering the border.

Why was the migrant being aggressive?

Deport them now! Line them up in the trucks and deport them they are not wanted here this is our country.

Who cares about that f..ing migrant!

Good!illegals must go!

Good

So

Great news! This is a good start. Get out your tissues liberals! The southern invasion is a mess. It needs to stop.

Nice

Well done, they should to every one that does not obey a command to walk away.

Come to the UK & train. Our Border Force

should have empty the mag

Gonna need that federal “stand your ground” law pretty quickly based on inner city crime combined with the lawlessness of the border onslaught.

And the migrant gets citizenship... lol 😆 🤣

Thought the National Guard would be a better shot than that.

Well done

Good!! Maybe they will not break our laws!!!

The US support for PKK YPG terrorists in Syria to push back the Turkish army and remove Erdogan from power is not going as planned. New sophisticated military training gear won't help.

This country is going down the shitter, and the comments on here prove it

There is only reason an illegal is running right now. It’s because they are not legally allowed to be here. Meaning they can’t claim asylum. So he was probably already deported before.

i don’t remember anyone asking nor caring

🥱

According to the account of the incident, It was the appropriate response

Not a migrant, it was an illegal invader

Well, I can't say I'm upset that an American wounded an illegal immigrant trying to cross the border. He could have killed him, but he didn't. I bet there's a lot of context missing that would she'd light on the situation

Sounds justified. But also sounds like these non-tabers don't know how to breach a house.

CNN never tells the whole story like a professional. Their better at indoctrinating shallow minds.

I feel bad for the guardsman. He’s in for the entire length of the green weenie.

Well at least it wasn’t life threatening

Good.

Let me guess, the migrant will sue and the fuck'n libs will support the lawsuit.

Doing a great job. Protecting USA

Wgaf

No victim no crime. Hospital released the migrant and nobody knows where he’s at

Ok… and? Lol

Good thing the migrant wasn't black, national guard would have been in jail by now.

he shot him with the m4?

Bad aim. Try better next time. Controlled pairs.

Good for him.

Next week, National Guard member celebrated by the GOP as possible presidential nominee for 2024.

Good

Well , it’s CNN. Could be true but just as likely to be a clickbait lie. You never know with them.

At least he didn't kill him. Thank God for life.🙏

And yet full story not posted why ?

Can we just build the wall, but around the South?

So he was defending the border?

Was it a legal migrant, or was it a coyote claiming to be a migrant?

And?

Oh well

Leave it up to CNN just to tell one side of the story. Pathetic

Thank you TX National Guard for protecting our Southern border.

Good. More of this should happen.

🤬

Should’ve been a better aim!!!

Does the 'migrant' have a visa to enter the country?

Open the border.

America is a terrorist state. Real Americans should one day put a stop to this terror state.

Welcome to America. Since the migrant was shot at, he is getting a crash course on living in America right now.

Was it target practice, or did the migrant demonstrate some form of aggression or threat? Let’s try telling the whole story CNN…

Ok?

MAGA disciple is likely

Well let's see how quick that rep from Colorado and others provide him funds for legal of the service person

And?

Fake news, can u tell us how many people died today in the us from fentynal? The drunk that your corrupt president is allowing to come in thru the open border policy? 300 Americans die every day from fentynal and you write about a guy that was shot in the shoulder? U r fake news

Good!

They should all be shot for invasion! If they want to come here, come through a port of entry!

What concerns me, is the (hosp. treated and released) migrant's location is now unknown.

Damn it if he had just shot him in the heart you'd have a real story eh? Sorry.

How is this news 'Migrant'? A CRIMINAL WAS SHOT IN THE SHOULDER!!!!

And.....

Finally. Some incentive to stay the hell out.

You misspelled illegal immigrant...

Finally, someone in government is doing their job!

Good 👍

So what

Good

He resisted and there was a struggle. Maybe that should be in the headline. Fake News Always.

Gotta do what you gotta do

Point being ?

To be more specific illegal immigrant

Sheesh. News on social platforms could make one freeze literally! Almost every day, there's something shocking to come across about gun violence fortunately or unfortunately!

There are probably a hundred dead ones behind him that are dead because of the trip itself. This is on Binen. Finish the wall stop the immigration issue.. problem solved.

he should be jailed!!!!! for missing

Thanks for defending the border

Good

They deserved it I’m sure

Nice headline for clickbait, but like so many headlines and sensational incendiary videos, WHAT WAS THE STORY BEFORE the eye-catching event, arrest or death? What was the migrant, the scofflaw, the arrestee or the demonstrator DOING BEFORE TO PROVOKE OR PROMPT a harsh response?

👍

Isn't that the job?

👎🏼

The guardsman should do whatever it takes to keep illegals out, especially if they are considered dangerous.

Well he was breaking the law!!

Numbers 14:18 The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation. My trust is in God!

Why is this news?

Nothing like seeing the Christian, pro-life crowd praise shooting migrants.

Good

CNN the communist news network

It is not a migrant, it is a criminal. Cnn is garbage.

Maybe the “migrant” shouldn’t have broken the law? Novel concept I know since laws people don’t like don’t have to be followed anymore. As long as your a Democrat breaking the law.

Probably deserved it

If he doesn’t get an other than honorable discharge at minimum, then our govt is filled with shxtbags.

If the border was secure it wouldn’t have happened

Good that is what their guns are for to protect them! Nice job not covering all our leafy greens are being destroyed by illegals contaminating 5th generation farms that supply 90% of our lettuce, spinach etc! 😡

If the U.S. wanted to minimize the need for people to flee their countries of origin, the federal government would stop sanctioning their countries, killing their leaders, fueling a coup ​d'etat, and using the WTO, WB, IMF, etc. to maintain its empire.

Well migrant should of listened 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you have never visited the border, your options do not matter.

Must not be an expert on the rifle range Send the Marines

They need to practice their aim.

Finally we are starting to defend our boarders from criminals

So another argument for finishing the wall and securing our borders? I agree with you on this CNN

So according to your own report “the migrant attempted to flee through a window and “resisted” when a soldier tried to apprehend him,” and your headline is against the National Guard? Remind me again, who do you work for CNN?

The wall makes sense!!

You mean an illegal

Impeach Mayorkas

What did the migrant do to cause that?

CNN, I’m surprised they dident say that the migrant was shot in the back while conducting prayer service. No one pays attention to them anymore since independent media started.

Terrible. I hope he wasn't defending himself.

Waste of a bullet. Take them out. That’s what he’s there for, to get control of the border.

why you continue to lie! He was doing his job!

So?

Disgusting use of national guard. Putting boys with guns in this situation is incredibly foolish and will always lead to unnecessary death and injury. Pointless cruelty, from useless state govts that REFUSE to care for their own people and would rather demonise others

Was he (I assume) crossing illegally?

Thank you, Governor Abbott, for doing Bidens' job👍👍

It should be shoot on sight

Good

Migrants ≠ Illegal Alien

And I’m sure the perp deserved it. Tanks would be a better option.

And so?

And

Oh let me guess, CNN is going to stand for the illegal breaking our laws.

Good shoukd have stayed in Mexico

Good

Illegal alien. Fixed it for you

What kind of news is that?!

Thanks for covering the border:

And America should send the military in to stop the Cartels!

Maybe the National Guard wouldn’t need to be at the border if the Border Patrol was allowed to do their jobs

That's what EUROPEANS DO

So what !!!! He probably deserve that

Resisting arrest is never the answer.

Hero

Sounds justified. Besides, Sneaking into our country to steal our wealth is a crime.

And then he was let go from hospital and no idea where he is now. Seems like a pointless shooting to me 🙄

Over 5 MILLION unknowns from all over the world have crossed democrats Open Borders under Biden going into your neighborhoods! They are bringing Fentanyl Killing your children! Fentanyl is 1 Killer of young Americans!

You mean an illegal alien.

Lies!

“…resisted when a soldier tried to apprehend him…” “A struggle ensued” When you leave out the important details in your tweet, you show your unwavering bias and corruption

Its a start I guess, got to crank it up though if more are to be deterred.

BREAKING NEWS, national guardsman defends nation 100 years too late and is attacked by Mexicans on both sides of the border.

Should have aimed a little bit higher into the left

Was it his covid shot? Dirty migrants.

So you recognize the need for more practice.

Shooting criminals is a problem?

Was the Texan National Guard member trying to (1)trying to stop a illegal drug smuggler or (2)trying to stop someone from illegally crossing the border into the USA? Also, if the person survived then it won’t be murder/homicide.

I notice you don’t mention the why

Compliance matters

I’ve said they need to make our southern border like the DMZ in Korea.

But did we deport the illegal? That's the important thing.

Good. Our guards are overwhelmed as it is.

That’s a start…..

Secure the border.

And...

We live in crazy (I mean that in every sense of the word) times. A man enters our country illegally. People putting their lives on the line to protect Americans, shoot one of the criminals (yes, breaking the law makes you a criminal), & Americans are angry with National Guard. 🤦‍♂️

And the missing context in this article is the illegal migrant fled and then when recaptured began assaulting the guardsman who defended himself as any American is permitted to do, in self defense.

You spelled illegal immigrant wrong

wat has The biden admin done to stop this .. you hypocrites? Answer that one ..

You just can’t bring yourself to say the truth that they are illegal aliens, can you…

Migrant who entered at a point of entry or illegal immigrant crossing the border where they want to?

I mean all this shooting is out of control but we can’t even deal with our own US citizens atm, we don’t need more. Thank god it was his shoulder tho.

Need alligators.

Things like that happen during skirmishes. Enforcing the law would cause much less damage.

Good.

Things happen when you break our laws.

So?

So he did his job?

Actions have consequences

That is EXCELLENT! But he missed.

Don't recall you covering this.

So they are called migrants, not illegal immigrants? While I get wanting a better life, a process is in place to legally obtain that better life. Illegal immigrants flooding America should not have a path to citizenship. That is unfair to people pursuing the legal process.

They usually don’t miss

I need more of these Feel Good stories. 🇺🇸

Illegal immigrant* who was breaking the law.

A shooting? In America? NO WAY!!!

So?

My cithy smool Texas ....My uncal 2Children .. 2Children foot of He ...(Recep not taching ME ..) 🖐😎🌲

Maybe fix the border issue?

“migrant”

so your point and i'll fix it for you you really meant illegal immigrant

移民?不法入国者??
