“We do not have any intention right now to shoot at people, but they will be apprehended, however,” Nielsen said in an interview with Fox News. “But I also take my officers and agents, their own personal safety, extraordinarily seriously. They do have the ability, of course, to defend themselves.”
“We will absolutely not tolerate violence against border patrol in this situation,” Nielsen said. “These are dedicated men and women risking their lives every day. I will not tolerate Mexicans or anybody else acting in a violent way towards our men and women on the border.”
“Not only do I have no reason to believe that story, but everyone that I’ve asked including all involved assure me that did not occur,” Nielsen said.
When asked about her discussions about her performance and border security with the President, Nielsen said she talks with him often and “everything is on the table” to address immigration issues.
“We are talking about every possible way that we can adjust the flows,” she said.
