A suspected cartel terrorist attacked and shot an American hiker
multiple times near the San Diego-Mexico border, according to the US
Customs and Border Protection.
Border patrol said a group of hikers were bombarded with gunfire, with
the victim struck twice and robbed in El Centro Sector’s area in the
Jacumba Wilderness.
“Cartels think they can bring their war here. Think again!” Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino posted to X Wednesday afternoon.
“Americans won’t be intimidated. Our agents & BORTAC will confront these threats HEAD ON!”
Bovino included a video in his social post of nearly a dozen agents
carrying what appears to be the victim on a gurney into a helicopter.
A Canadian citizen was also shot at and later robbed during the callous
attack, US Border Patrol El Centro Sector posted on Facebook. He was not wounded.
“He was here legally, visiting and out for a hike with his friends,” according to the post.
“He was shot at (uninjured) and later robbed after bravely staying at
his wounded friend’s side.”
It remains unclear when the incident happened and if the attacker was
taken into custody.
The alleged attack came just days after President Trump signed a series
of executive orders declaring the crisis at the US-Mexico border an “invasion” and designated drug cartels and organized migrant gangs as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists.
