President Donald Trump renewed his call for a wall on the southern border after U.S. Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez was killed and his partner injured while on patrol Sunday.
Martinez and his partner were “responding to activity” near Interstate 10 in Van Horn, Tex. on Sunday, the Washington Post reports.
Martinez’s partner called for help. Other agents arrived, provided medical care and took them to a hospital.
Martinez died of his injuries; his partner, who was not identified, remained in the hospital in serious condition, officials said.
Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!
