A coordinated effort to get illegal immigrants into the US devolved into a gunfight today in San Diego, and shut down the busiest US-Mexico border crossing. Four people were injured after US agents opened fire on three vans attempted to speed through the San Ysido Port of Entry from Tijuana unchecked, the Los Angeles Times reports, noting that while similar solo attempts are common, the coordination is unusual.
“The port is closed and will remain closed for several hours,” a US Customs and Border Patrol rep tells Reuters.
