Flagrant Foul
Photograph by Diane Cook and Len Jenshel

Border Patrol agents in Nogales, Arizona, protect themselves with an old baseball backstop. Before they put it up, would-be border crossers (or helpers attempting to create a diversion) would toss rocks over the wall in the direction of the agents; now officers park behind it and monitor the border in safety.
