After a border patrol officer died while working along the United States-Mexico border on Sunday, President Donald Trump responded with a tweet promoting his push for a wall along the southern border.

Two agents were injured while responding to unspecified activity along the southern border, and one later died in the hospital on Sunday morning, according to CNN. Following the agent’s death, acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke offered her thoughts and prayers to the agent’s family.

“On behalf of the quarter of a million front line officers and agents of DHS, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Agent Martinez and to the agent who is in serious condition,” she said in a statement.

1. This is not the time to be talking about walls, Dotard.

2. The only one I can think of

who needs to be behind a HIGH wall, is Donald J. Trump.

4. injured killed hurt?

Was this a vehicle accident? If shot then one was wounded fatally and the other wounded.

6. Two agents were injured while responding to unspecified activity along the southern border,

If they were injured 'while responding' I would think you are right about the vehicle accident. Like a wall would stop that from happening.

7. I was going to say that, sounds like a wreck

the article is as vague as it can be.

9. Agree.

"Two agents were injured..."

How? Shot? Driving? Fell into a hole? Shot each other by mistake (it's happened before)? A post that should never have been made.

5. We just had a rookie officer killed near Pittsburgh. A wall would not have prevented it

nor would one find the guy that did it. Trump tweets out of his ass.
