U.S. fires tear gas to deter migrants making New Year’s run at border
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – U.S. border agents launched tear gas into Mexico early Tuesday to deter a group of migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border at Tijuana, according to a Reuters witness and the U.S. government.
Clouds of the noxious gas could be seen wafting up from around the fence at the border, and one migrant picked up a canister and threw it back across the border into U.S. territory.
Tijuana has become a flashpoint in the debate over U.S. immigration policy, which has been intensified by the recent deaths of two migrant children in U.S. custody and a partial U.S. government shutdown over President Donald Trump’s $5 billion demand to lawmakers for a wall along the border with Mexico.
Trump violates a sovereign country again.
And what is that suppose to prove. Trump violated a sovereign country, what don't you understand about that
So, has the Government of Mexico registered a complaint?
they are too busy at their southern border to notice... LOL
I don't know do you?
Wow
I guess everyone celebrates new years in their own special way.
choosing to be shot with tear gas and rubber bullets is one heck of a way to party.
but it does sound like they are having fun...
Contrary to popular progressive liberal belief, we as a nation have the right to defend our borders, premptively if nevessary, from assault from those attempting to illegally breach said borders.
Not by violating another nation, that's called an act of war. Geeeeez You don't know that and supposedly in the navy. You should have gotten that in basic.
You obviously don't know what an act of war is.
Mexico isn't complaining; and they are deport those that are attacking the US border.

This is the first time I have herd this brought up again ever since it was proven the Obama admin used it over once a month and for far less dangerous circumstances. Isn't it funny how some people will double down on hypocrisy?
Liberal hypocrisy is cyclopean.
Well done. Defend our borders!
You have three choices: an open border, a wall or a fence that has to be defended by tear gas. If you don't support a wall then you have no business complaining.
