Yesterday, @CBP agents and officers professionally managed a dangerous situation involving more than 1,000 individuals who sought to enter the U.S. illegally, requiring closure of the San Ysidro Port of Entry for several hours.
Four agents were struck by projectiles. Officers responsible for securing the border responded with nonlethal deployments to disperse the crowd—standard protocol for law enforcement agencies across the country.
