As much of the nation watched Trump take office for the second time in history, a border agent in Vermont was reportedly shot dead by a migrant.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot and killed in Vermont on Monday while performing their duties near the Canada-U.S. border, according to U.S. federal and state authorities.
The federal officer killed while on duty near the Canadian border has been identified as a U.S. Air Force veteran who provided security at the Pentagon during the Sept. 11 attacks.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent, 44-year-old David Maland, was shot dead in the line of duty Monday afternoon, officials said. Two suspects were also reportedly shot, including one who died.
Governor Phil Scott identified David Maland as the fallen officer, extending his “heartfelt condolences to Agent Maland’s family, friends, and colleagues."

Just hours after the inauguration, migrants with CBP One appointments along the U.S.-Mexico border learned that all CBP One appointments were canceled. Dozens of asylum seekers in Matamoros, Mexico, were turned away in near-freezing temperatures.
U.S. border agents have been instructed to summarily deport migrants crossing into the country illegally without allowing them to request legal protection.
