Sasabe -
A Tucson Station Border Patrol agent was assaulted by a 22-year-old Mexican man Friday morning near Highway 286, north of Sasabe, Arizona.
When the agent responded to a group of suspected undocumented immigrants north of the international boundary and attempted to arrest one of the suspects, the Mexican national violently resisted by throwing dirt in the agents face and assaulting him. The agent managed to subdue the suspect after a brief struggle.
The agent was later evaluated at a local hospital and released. The Mexican national was uninjured and declined medical attention. He will be processed for immigration violations, per Tucson Sector guidelines, and charged for assault on a federal agent.
Federal law allows agents to charge individuals by complaint, a method that allows the filing of charges for criminal activity without inferring guilt. An individual is presumed innocent unless and until competent evidence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Solis out as CBP's port chief in Nogales

Less than eight months after taking command of Arizona's busiest land port of entry, Efrain Solis is out as Nogales port director for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection does make management changes, as needed," a spokeswoman said in response to an email from the NI asking for confirmation of rumors that Solis had been relieved, as well as an explanation as to why the change was made.
Michael Humphries is serving as the interim port director in Nogales "until further notice," the spokeswoman said. Humphries has previously served as area port director for the Douglas/Naco ports of entry.
The change at the top of the local CBP hierarchy coincides with the retirement of Assistant Port Director Joe Agosttini, who stepped down on Friday, Oct. 27 after more than 30 years of service.
Solis, who began his career with the former U.S. Customs Service in Brownsville, Texas, more than 25 years ago, assumed leadership of the Dennis DeConcini and Mariposa ports, as well as the Morley pedestrian gate, the Nogales International Airport and the Rio Rico railyard, during a change-of-command ceremony on March 30.
"It's an honor and a privilege to accept this position," he said at the time. "I don't know of any other place I wanted to be. When they asked, I said I would take Nogales."
Solis took over for Guadalupe Ramirez, Jr., who left to become assistant director of field operations for CBP's Tucson Sector.
