No agents were badly hurt. CBP's commissioner said the day before that four agents were hit by rocks but wore protective gear and suffered no serious injuries.
In a statement on the Nov. 25, 2018 incident at San Ysidro, CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said agents acted 'without any reported serious injuries on either side of the border' and that 'Four agents were hit with rocks, but were wearing protective gear and did not suffer serious injuries' (U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Nov. 26, 2018).
