Suspect caught by Border Patrol in November 2023, released into US with April 2026 court date, sources say.
Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott says it was 'common knowledge' the vice president was assigned responsibility over the border on 'Fox News Live.'
A migrant living in the United States illegally shot and wounded a Texas police officer in an early morning confrontation on Sunday, multiple law enforcement sources tell Fox News.
Venezuelan national Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, 25, died during the shootout with San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) officers. It is unclear if he was killed by officers or if he committed suicide.
The shooting began after the SAPD responded to a domestic violence call at around 3 a.m. Sources tell Fox News SAPD officers found the suspect lying in bed with a rifle.
The suspect began shooting at officers before they returned fire. A female police officer was wounded during the shooting.
