GILA BEND, Ariz. – Two Border Patrol agents rushing to help capture some suspected illegal immigrants were killed Thursday when their SUV entered a marked railroad crossing and was struck by a freight train.
The crash happened in a rural farming area near Interstate 8 and the town of Gila Bend, about 85 miles southwest of Phoenix.
The agents — Eduardo Rojas Jr. and Hector Clark — were trying to position themselves on a road north of some other agents who were trying to capture a group of suspected illegal immigrants, said agent Kenneth Quillin, spokesman for the Border Patrol's Yuma sector.
The suspects were on foot, and none of them have been arrested, Quillin said. "We do see groups (of illegal immigrants) on a regular basis traveling through this area."http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110512/ap_on_re_us/us_train_border_patrol In a related story...(CNN) -- A Mexican man was arraigned in a federal court Friday for the murder last December of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona, as well as 13 other charges.
U.S. District Court Magistrate Jacqueline Marshall unsealed the indictment against Manuel Osorio-Arellanes at Arellanes' arraignment in Tuscon, Arizona. Besides second-degree murder, charges against Arellanes include three counts of assault of a federal officer and four counts of using a firearm to commit a violent crime, three counts of re-entry of a deported alien and two counts of illegally possessing a firearm.
