Weapons can only be used for defense says official
The secretary said border patrolmen could seek transfers to federal courts without affecting charges of firearm use. He opposed disarming agents, arguing it would cripple enforcement as criminals rely on weapons. He cited ongoing pressure in Congress and noted two shootings in Detroit and International Falls sparked investigations. Two hundred extra agents were sent to Detroit, drawn from posts nationwide, with over 50 arriving yesterday to bolster customs, border patrol, and prohibition forces.
