First Caravan-Related Violence Reported in U.S.
By Washington Times. The Border Patrol reported the first major instance of migrant caravan-related violence Saturday, saying a Honduran man threw rocks at agents to try to keep from being arrested Friday in Arizona.
The 31-year-old, whom authorities didn’t name, had climbed a tree to try to avoid capture, then lit the tree afire and began to throw rocks at the agents as well as a helicopter called in to help track him.
Neither the agents nor the helicopter were hit by the projectiles.
The man was eventually arrested, and agents said he told them he was part of the migrant caravan that had been in the news. They said he had previous arrests in the U.S. and had been deported back in June.
A local fire department had to be called to extinguish the fire. (Read more from “First Caravan-Related Violence Reported in U.S.” HERE)

‘It’s Going to Be a Mess’: Former ICE Supervisor Says ‘There Has to Be Something Done’ About Caravan
By Fox News. Former ICE supervisor Jason Piccolo said Sunday that “there has to be something done” as the migrant caravan heads toward the U.S. border.
The caravan was expected to march through the San Ysidro, California, point of entry Sunday afternoon.
“I think it’s going to be a mess,” Piccolo said Sunday on Fox & Friends. “That’s one of the busiest land ports we have in the world, and it’s also going to disrupt commercial and legitimate pedestrian traffic as well.”
Piccolo suggested a “port court,” where immigration judges and asylum officers would be present at points of entry.
He also said that possible cooperation between the Trump administration and the incoming Mexican government is “absolutely significant.” (Read more from “‘It’s Going to Be a Mess’: Former Ice Supervisor Says ‘There Has to Be Something Done’ About Caravan” HERE)
