BREAKING NEWS – Honolulu, Hawaii – Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, tweeted that the use of tear gas against Central American migrants who attempted to enter the U.S. illegally may have been a violation of international agreements governing the use of chemical weapons — before he backtracked. The Associated Press reported that U.S. agents shot several rounds of the gas after migrants tried to penetrate several points along the border at the San Ysidro border crossing between Tijuana, Mexico, and California. Migrants sought to squeeze through gaps in wire, climb over fences and peel back metal sheeting to enter. Congresswoman Maxine Waters also made inaccurate allegations against the border agents, accusing them of throwing at the migrants, hand grenades, snowballs, and frisbees.
