An Arizona sheriff is vowing to prosecute an illegal immigrant accused of assaulting a female Border Patrol agent who was trying to make an arrest.

Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels tells Fox News that his office will take the case involving the injured agent in the Tucson Sector only if the U.S. Attorney’s Office decides not to.

"He’s in federal custody in Tucson," Dannels said in a text message. "If the U.S. Attorney declines prosecution, we will pursue charges at the local (county) level."

The agent, who remains unidentified, was taking a male illegal immigrant into custody on Saturday when he attacked her, injuring her face and arms, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Fox News Digital.

Migrant Allegedly Breaks Border Patrol Agent’s Nose During Arrest in Arizona

by RANDY CLARK 6 Mar 2023

A Border Patrol agent was violently attacked as she attempted to arrest a migrant near Naco, Arizona, on Saturday. As the agent attempted to place the migrant in her vehicle, the migrant reportedly knocked the agent off her feet and began punching her repeatedly in the face. According to a source within CBP, the agent suffered a broken nose and other injuries.

The source, not authorized to speak to the media, says the migrant fled from the scene but was later captured after a brief chase by agents responding to a call for assistance. The migrant faces charges for allegedly assaulting a federal officer.

In a statement released by CBP, the Tucson Border Patrol Sector agent was assaulted as she took a migrant into custody near Foudy Road and State Route 92 at 4:00 am. The agent was taken to a hospital. The identity of the accused migrant was not released.

The FBI and Cochise County Sherriff’s Office are investigating the incident, according to a CBP statement.

Assaults against Border Patrol agents have risen steadily with rising numbers of migrants apprehended along the southwestern border. In 2020, a total of 316 assaults against Border Patrol agents were officially recorded.

In 2022, the figure rose 36 percent to 430 as the fiscal year ended. Since October 2022, the agency has recorded 139 assaults.

In February, more than 23,000 migrants were apprehended by the Border Patrol in the Tucson Sector. Naco Station is one of nine in the sector. February’s apprehension numbers rose slightly from January’s 20,200 encounters, as reported exclusively by Breitbart Texas.
