I’ve updated the diary with a tweet of the video of the apparent stunt. This reeks of political dirty tricks.

Illegal migrants wave Venezuelan flag after crossing US southern border, attack Border Patrol agents The agency said one of the protesters assaulted an agent with a flagpole while another threw a rock at agents, injuring one in the process. That in turn led Border Patrol to initiate crowd-control measures.

Here’s a local TV news report on the stunt at the border yesterday at El Paso. The reporter interviewed a Venezuelan migrant who was unhappy with the whole stunt, who said: “I do not agree with what they did. They were persuaded by a Mexican person who organized everything, and truth be told this affects all of us.”

The flag bearer attacked the Border Patrol Agents with the flag poll, a well known Republican tactic. Where do you even find a Venezuelan Flag that big? It must have been provided by the mysterious Mexican organizer, along with directions to use it as a weapon.

The Border Patrol Agents seemed to be expecting some sort of stunt, or provocation.
