Three suspects were arrested Monday in connection with the murder of a Mexican federal immigration agent found dead earlier in the day, according to state immigration and security officials.
The death marks a rare case of deadly violence against immigration agents, just weeks before an anticipated crackdown on immigration with the upcoming inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump.
State investigators reported that the officer suffered a head injury and showed signs of violence.
Two Venezuelans and a Colombian were detained as suspects.
The agent was attacked at a checkpoint near Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, while requesting identification from foreign nationals, highlighting tensions as migrants anticipate stricter U.S. entry policies.
