Dozens More Illegal Aliens Arrested After Surging Over the Border

 

EDINBURG, TX – Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV) Border Patrol agents disrupted four human smuggling events resulting in 50 arrests recently.

Monday morning, Rio Grande City Border Patrol Station (RGC) agents responded to a request for assistance from a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) trooper with a vehicle bailout in Escobares, TX.  When agents arrived at the scene, the trooper advised he was behind a suspicious vehicle when the driver came to a stop, on his own, and multiple people absconded into the nearby brush.  Agents and troopers encountered ten illegal aliens in the surrounding area.  

They were transferred to the Rio Grande City Border Patrol Station for processing. DPS placed the driver under arrest for driving while intoxicated and evading arrest or detention and transported him to Starr County Jail for booking.

Monday afternoon, RGV agents received information of a possible human smuggling stash house located in Palmview, Texas.  Agents responded to the residence and encountered five people, who were determined to be in the United States illegally.  The nationals of Guatemala and El Salvador were placed under arrest without incident. 

Shortly after, RGV agents, along with assistance from local law enforcement, apprehended seven illegal aliens from Mexico at a hotel in Alamo, Texas.  They encountered the subjects in two hotel rooms after receiving information of people being harbored at the location.  No principal or caretaker was identified.

Today, RGC agents were advised that a concerned citizen reported seeing multiple illegal aliens walking to an apartment complex in Roma, Texas. Roma Police Department officers, also, responded to the area and met agents at the residence.  As the agents and officers were looking around the property, a person opened the door and multiple illegal aliens were observed inside the apartment.  Agents determined the 27 people were noncitizens.  No principals were identified.

Border Patrol is processing the subjects accordingly.

Remember President biden is responsible for this huge surge in illegal aliens (many of whom bring drugs with them) when the next Presidential election happens. Of course by that time there will be other things to worry about like outrageous taxes, severe unemployment, many industries moving out of the country again, foreign policy in the toilet and hopefully we wont be in another war.
