Well, because...

Seems like they did more than just step on American soil.

United States Customs and Border Protection on Friday released a slightly different account of a border agent's fatal shooting of an undocumented migrant near Nuevo Laredo, Texas, raising new questions about what actually happened.

After initially reporting the agent was attacked by migrants armed with "blunt objects," the federal agency on Friday said only that the group "rushed" the officer after ignoring orders to get on the ground.

But its latest version of events makes no mention of blunt objects described in an agency statement issued after Wednesday's shooting in the border town of Rio Bravo.

Additionally, the Border Patrol at first reported that a round from the officer's gun "fatally wounded one of the assailants" but the latest statement refers to the gunshot victim as a "member of the group."

Customs and Border Protection on Friday canceled a new conference on the shooting and instead released its updated statement.

An agency spokesman declined to comment further, saying the shooting was being investigated by the FBI and the Texas Rangers. An FBI spokesman also said the agency had no comment due to the ongoing investigation.

Martinez said she later saw a Border Patrol statement claiming the migrants tried to the hit the agent with "a two-by-four," referring to a piece of lumber.

"There are no two-by-fours there," she said. "It's only grass and some branches."

In the video, a uniformed man is seen giving someone on the ground chest compressions but Martinez said the woman appeared to be dead.

In a vacant lot near her home, Martinez said an agent captured two men who ran from the scene after the shooting. Martinez said she heard the officer tell the men: "This is what happens. You see?"

The Border Patrol said agents arrested three undocumented immigrants.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Thursday that the results of an FBI investigation into the death of a Border Patrol agent who died late last year should serve as a cautionary tale against jumping to conclusions.

Border Patrol agent Rogelio Martinez, 36, died in November after sustaining severe head and body trauma while on patrol near the West Texas town of Van Horn. His death prompted some lawmakers to quickly call for increased border security after they assumed the death was a result of foul play.

But the FBI's El Paso field office on Wednesday said that after several hundred interviews, the agency has concluded that the agent's death was more likely the result of an accident. The FBI findings were first reported by The Washington Post.

To date none of the more than 650 interviews completed, locations searched, or evidence collected and analyzed have produced evidence that would support the existence of a scuffle, altercation, or attack on November 18, 2017, the office announced in a statement. Additionally, the El Paso County Medical Examiner has now released the autopsy report indicating blunt injuries of the head as the cause of death. The manner of death is undetermined.
...
After the incident, President Donald Trump renewed his call for a wall on the southern border, and Gov. Greg Abbott offered a $20,000 reward for information that led to the arrests of the people responsible for what he called a murder. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also called the incident an attack.

day 1 - Trump refers to MS-13 members, a gang that engages human trafficking and butchers people with machetes, as animals.
day 2 - Liberals lose their minds and side with MS-13
day 3 - Illegal immigrants attack a border control agent with lethal force. The agent defends himself.
day 4 - Liberals double down, continue to cry about Trump and blame everyone else except for the actual illegal immigrants who chose to attack an officer with lethal force.

If anything, it sounds more like the left's siding with MS-13 and anti-ICE/anti-Trump rhetoric is emboldening illegal immigrants to attack border control agents.
