A Border Patrol agent in northern Vermont was fatally shot in the neck by what is reported to be an illegal immigrant, just after President Donald Trump was being sworn in hundreds of miles away in Washington on a promise to deem the border crisis a "national emergency" on his first day in office.

NewsNation's Ali Bradley reported Monday that the border agent was shot while conducting a traffic stop. The shooter, whom Bradley referred to as a "visa overstay," was also reportedly killed. The agent was identified as 44-year-old David Maland, Fox News reported Tuesday.

A CBP spokesperson told Newsweek via email on Monday: "On January 20, a Border Patrol agent assigned to the US Border Patrol's Swanton Sector was fatally shot in the line of duty. The incident is currently being investigated and CBP will release additional information as soon as it becomes available."

Why This MattersThe shooting comes as much of the nation was watching Trump's presidential inauguration in Washington D.C.

During his inaugural address, Trump promised to first and foremost tackle illegal immigration. He said he would declare a national emergency at the southern border on Monday, immediately halting all illegal immigration into the U.S. and starting the return process for millions of migrants to be sent back to their countries of origin. Crossings along the southern border have fallen dramatically in recent weeks, according to CBP data.

What to KnowVermont public safety officials issued a news release announcing that Interstate 91 at mile marker 168 was closed due to "an evolving police incident." That location is in Newport, near the Canadian border.

Bradley said Monday that Border Patrol was anticipating some of the migrants in the Vermont area to escape to Canada as Trump's crackdown on immigration began this week. She also reported that the agent who was killed Monday was recently transferred from Texas to Vermont.
