Over the weekend U.S. Border Patrol agents fired gunshots in Mexico because they were attacked during a marijuana seizure in Mission, Texas which is a small border town in the Rio Grande Valley.  A lady said that they don't know how many people were involved but that none of the agents were hurt. The Agents found and seized over 1,000 pounds of marijuana and right now its like under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI and the Mexican government. It said that this year that they have seized more than 800,000 pounds of marijuana in that area. Oh and also in June a Border patrol agent shot and killed a 15 year-old from Ciudad Juarez because in a video it showed him throwing rocks at the agent.
