In a statement, the FBI said that in addition to the agent, a suspect in the shooting was killed and a second suspect was injured and taken into custody during the encounter on Interstate 91 in Coventry, about 20 miles from the Canadian border.

    Ah shucks, what a shame. They were just a few days away from getting to raid Democrat-led cities under the false pretense of migrant crime. If they’d just held out a little bit longer, they could have been gunned down in New York or Chicago.

      Northwoods Law shows me Vermont has lots of bears and trailer trash hillbillies too.

        Vermont is pretty overwhelmingly progressive but, more than that, they’re strongly community and social service oriented. Those later two points are usually what causes a rift between the VT GOP and the national party.

    Hell yeah, another border agent down. It’s a tragedy that the person they were trying to arrest also died, though.

    Isn’t all of Vermont south of the border?

    And almost all of it within the 100 mile border zone?
