U.S., Canada expected to announce new border deal after one sector saw an 846% increase in illegal crossings
St. Johnsbury Police Chief Timothy Page on how his small Vermont town has been dealing with migrants.
Within the past week, the Texas Department of Public Safety disrupted a child-smuggling incident and caught three dozen illegal immigrants wearing camouflage while hiding in a cave.
The first incident came last Friday on RM-334 and 4th Street in Kinney County, Texas.
A Texas DPS trooper conducted a traffic stop and discovered that the driver and passenger were smuggling four illegal immigrants. Of the four immigrants, two were female juveniles, ages 14 and 16, and two were adults, Texas DPS said.
The driver and passenger – both of whom are from San Antonio – were charged with smuggling of persons. The four illegal immigrants were handed over to U.S. Border Patrol.
In a video released by Texas DPS, the driver can be heard telling the arresting officer, "I feel like you guys are just arresting the wrong people."
"Who should we be arresting then?" the officer asks.
"Drug cartels. They're killing people. And sex trafficking and everything bad…," the driver responds.
"Those people are the same people that sent you down here," the officer tells him.
