Men scale Trumps border wall in viral video<\/a>: \u201cThe 38-second video<\/a>\u00a0shows a pair of men<\/a>\u00a0climbing the ladder while another\u00a0holds it on the\u00a0Mexico side of the border.\u00a0After one man<\/a>\u00a0successfully\u00a0slides\u00a0down the railing\u00a0to the U.S. side and starts running toward a second structure, another begins yelling in Spanish, \u201cHurry, hurry, jump the fence.\u201d A vehicle\u00a0that appears to belong to U.S. Border Patrol then pulls up and officials\u00a0emerge, prompting the other\u00a0men<\/a> to gather the ladder and slide back down the fence into\u00a0Mexico. The\u00a016-year-old Mexican citizen\u00a0who ran into the U.S. was apprehended by Border Patrol, Assistant Chief Patrol Agent Joshua Devack said in a video<\/a> statement posted to Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n This is the newly replaced wall along the US\/MEXICO border. #TheWall<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/MIrD3HhVsE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 J.

He\u2019ll have Mayor Pete take down Elizabeth Warren<\/a>: \u201cBiden\u2019s campaign declined to comment on the record about its strategy. But multiple veteran pollsters and operatives said there\u2019s sound logic behind the notion that the vice president\u2019s team might view Buttigieg as a useful way to help blunt Warren\u2019s momentum, particularly with\u00a0white college-educated<\/a>\u00a0voters<\/a>. The more Buttigieg rises in states like Iowa and New Hampshire, the thinking goes, the more Warren slips in some polls.\u201d<\/p>\n CARLOS GREGORIO HERNANDEZ VASQUEZ<\/strong>.
