Here are the True Heroes of El Paso

When the shooting in El Paso was causing havoc in Walmart, border patrol agents responded on the scene and helped secure the scene and protect the survivors. The Washington Examiner reports:

More than 130 federal agents and officers assigned to the U.S.-Mexico border near El Paso, Texas, responded to the shooting scene at WalMart last Saturday, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

“Our response was instantaneous … More than 135 CBP employees were there within minutes, providing tactical, medical, and peer support,” according to a statement released Thursday, which included a comment CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan made in a message video-taped for employees.

Border Patrol agents, officers who work at the ports of entry, elite agents from Border Patrol’s Search, Trauma, and Rescue and Tactical Units, as well as Air and Marine Operations all descended on the scene to assist El Paso police Saturday morning.

Border Patrol, which is located a matter of miles from the scene of the attack, was on site within “minutes” of the first gunshots. An existing active shooter response team carried out building sweeps and set up a perimeter around the area. Employees from other agencies took to the skies in helicopters to survey the scene.

Our Border Patrol agents are often maligned by Democrats now, but their dedication to the safety of Americans is supreme.
