Original Note:
Senator Blackburn is likely referring to an incident in which a migrant was shot by agents while in in custody after allegedly advancing on agents with scissors. Even if using hyperbole, the Senator’s use of “invasion” is extremely misleading, bordering on dishonesty. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/10/04/border-patrol-agent-fatally-shoots-migrant-us-custody/
