A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) defended video footage of a U.S. Border Patrol agent cutting open a section of razor wire for an illegal immigrant family, saying that it was a necessary action to apprehend them.
On Friday, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared a Twitter post showing the unidentified Border Patrol agent taking wire cutters to a spiraling line of razor wire and then pulling the wire aside to allow at least a dozen illegal immigrants to walk through.
