THE border patrol agent shot dead while executing a traffic stop has been pictured.
David Maland. 44, was killed in the line of duty in Vermont – just hours after Donald Trump had been sworn into office.
The shooting happened in Coventry – around 20 miles from the Canadian border.
Speculation swirled that Maland was killed by an illegal immigrant but this was not confirmed by the FBI.
Agents have revealed that a German national on an American visa also died in the gunfire.
A third person is being treated in hospital after being taken into custody.
Trump has signed a flurry of executive orders since coming into office and some relate to immigration.
He has declared a national emergency at the southern border.
“All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places in which they came,” Trump said.
But in light of the shooting, Trump’s border czar Tom Haman has warned the US-Canada crossing will not be ignored.
“The Northern border is not going to be underlooked by the Trump administration,” he told Fox News on Tuesday.
