Border control agency conducting Election Day "crowd control exercise" in El Paso, Texas

The government agency that oversees border patrol is planning an Election Day "crowd control exercise" today in El Paso, Texas, near a Hispanic neighborhood with about 100 residents. The exercise is being conducted in the hometown of Beto O'Rourke, the Democratic Senate candidate who's running a tight race against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

The Customs and Border Protection agency has scheduled the exercises at 10 a.m. Mountain Time, according to a statement. The exercise, in El Paso's oldest neighborhood, is being called a "mobile field force demonstration." Media were invited to attend the event.

The neighborhood is near an area where officials recently began constructing part of President Trump's border wall. A week ago, the agency blocked the El Paso del Norte International Bridge in downtown El Paso to train for the arrival of the migrant caravan from Central America. Carlos Diaz, a CBP spokesman, said today's activities are "operational readiness exercises" related to preparing for the caravan, which is still hundreds of miles south of the border.

"We will be reinforcing staffing, well in advance, to ensure that we can address any contingency," he said. "Pease know this: we will ensure border security."

I would say, that it was not Trump, who picked the day. But that the day was picked to create controversy.

When my wife texts me like she doesn’t understand something I wrote she types ‘heh’ as in ‘huh’. I wasn’t sure if you got it.

FYI
Last episode of Breaking Bad was named Felina in reference to the song. And famous cowboy action Shooter whose alias is Evil Roy is married to cowboy shooter Wicked Felina.
