(CNN) US Customs and Border Protection says it is investigating an incident at the California border with Mexico, in which agents used tear gas, pepper spray and smoke as more than 100 migrants tried to enter the country illegally. Border Patrol agents hold their guns as migrants try to go over the border fence near Tijuana, Mexico. About 150 migrants approached the fence, but about one-third of the group members turned back into Mexico when they saw Border Patrol agents, CBP estimated. A migrant is lowered toward concertina wire on the US side of the border fence. The agency said teenagers wrapped in jackets, blankets or mats were put over the wire, as were "toddler-sized children."
