Within hours of Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez’s death, President Donald Trump vowed to take action and renewed his call to build a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!,” Trump tweeted November 19.
The president, however, may have jumped the gun, according to the sheriff in the area where Martinez died.

Did the Newsweek ever mention Obama’s premature rush to judgement whenever there was a racial issue?
“Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!,”
Despite the “prematurity” of Trump’s tweet, it’s 100% true.
Joke Mag, lost all credibility yeas ago.
I’m not convinced this was murder. Smugglers go
out of their way to avoid the BP, not engage it.
A drug cartel has better weapons at their disposal
than rocks, and would not have left a survivor.
This will turn out to have been an accident along
the lines of falling off a small cliff in the dark
and landing on rocks.
“Did the Newsweek ever mention Obama’s premature rush to judgement whenever there was a racial issue?”
When asked why nobody made fun of Obama, a black comedian answered, “There’s just nothing there to make fun of.”
The Left sees an entirely different world than the Right. They aren’t pretending it’s different. They really do see it as different. The fact that the press never mentioned statements like, “Well, obviously, the police acted stupidly,” meant they heard the statement as a legitimate concern of the president and not the actual racist, anti-cop, anti-white statement the Right heard.
The Right can never, ever “win” an argument with the Left. They see anything the Right has to say as simply untrue. There is no way to reason with the Left. They can’t hear or acknowledge what you say. It just isn’t real to them. If, somehow, you back them into a logical corner, they change the subject. They didn’t lose. Fortunately, since I don’t work for anybody, I can walk away from any argument. Arguments are not worth my time.
A news outlet the other said the union for the other BP agent said he had no recollection of that whole day.
FBI is on it so we will never know the truth. FBI is cover-up central.
Two, both sustaining serious head injuries?
Maybe a couple of snowflakes wandering around in unfamiliar territory without lights, high on choom but I'm going to go out on a limb and say these officers had flashlights.
I hope they come up with something definitive.
Because it is a Law Enforcement Officer that is killed and because it is probably a precious oppressed Illegal Alien that committed the crime.
And because the story would support the hated Trump agenda.
And the motivation behind every mass murder where that attacker yells “Allah akhbar!” also remains a mystery... to those who willfully cannot allow reality to affect their worldview.
Not buying an accident caused the death of one agent and a most serious injury to another, both with head injuries.
Newsweek's reason they think tweet "premature":The FBI has yet to confirm a crime occurred.
So one can not be killed except when a crime occurs?
Corrupt agent let massive shipment through, killed agent and was "wounded" as cover?
I agree
“I’m not convinced this was murder. Smugglers go
out of their way to avoid the BP, not engage it.”
Not as much as you think they might. And as for rocks, mules may or may not be heavily armed. It was an attack.
Regardless of this particular case, it sadly happens more than we realize. Another story in our forum today: Border Patrol agent kills migrant who tried to steal partner’s gun! To which I yell to myself inside, Build the Wall NOW!!

Good point.
I believe the men were assaulted by Mexican Army regular troops on US soil protecting a drug shipment. If the truth were to come out, it would be an international incident that could be construed as an act of war. It would also indicate that the Mexican government has lost control of its armed forces, which would be a huge embarrassment for Mexico.
The men have been coached in their story.
