A Culberson County Sheriff’s Office deputy stopped a pick-up truck pulling a horse trailer on Friday just south of the tiny West Texas Town of Van Horn. Normally, in cattle country, a truck pulling a livestock trailer is part of the normal landscape. On this occasion, the deputy was surprised when he discovered 40 illegal migrants crammed into the hot trailer.

A Culberson County Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled over a horse trailer and found multiple migrants locked inside. The deputy also found more migrants locked inside the compartment used to store tac gear in the sweltering West Texas heat.

Deputies arrested the driver on human smuggling charges and turned the migrants over to Border Patrol agents. The incident remains under investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The border crisis is leaving no geographic regions of the southwest unaffected. In the remote Big Bend Sector, the Border Patrol usually makes the fewest migrant arrests of any sector on the southern border. The area is void of any large cities. Its remote isolated roadways make it uninviting for human traffickers who usually stand out amongst local travelers and tourists.

This year, however, is different. Since October, the Border Patrol in this region apprehended more than 25,000 migrants illegally entering the sector. This compares to slightly more than 4,000 during the same time frame last year. The increase of over 400 percent is staggering.

Like in many areas along the southwest border, Border Patrol agents in the Big Bend Sector are overwhelmed with processing and caring for the vulnerable population of migrants streaming across the border. Like other sectors, they too rely heavily on the cooperation and vigilance of local law enforcement authorities to meet the shortfall in available Border Patrol agents in the field.

On Tuesday, Border Patrol agents attempted to stop a vehicle that failed to yield to their emergency lights. The pursuit ended when the smuggler’s vehicle overturned, sending multiple migrants to a local hospital.

Los Zetas Cartel Kidnaps Texas Family Traveling Through Border State in Mexico

Gunmen from one of Mexico’s most violent drug cartels kidnapped three members of a Texas family as they traveled through a border state towards the United States. The kidnapping took place in an area controlled by a faction of Los Zetas known as Cartel Del Noreste.

The kidnapping is believed to have taken place seven days ago when 39-year-old Gladys Cristina Perez Sanchez traveled with her 16-year-old son, Juan Carlos Gonzales, and her nine-year-old daughter, Cristina Duran. The victims were driving to Laredo, Texas, from the town of Sabinas Hidalgo in the border state of Nuevo Leon.

Relatives alerted authorities when their loved ones failed to arrive at the designated time and their cell phones would go straight to voice mail. Soon after the kidnapping, Nuevo Leon state authorities issued a series of posters asking for information on the missing victims.

According to information shared by relatives with Breitbart Texas, the victims were traveling to Sabinas Hidalgo every two to four weeks to visit a sick relative. Israel Garza, a relative of the missing travelers told Breitbart Texas that several of his acquaintances have been stopped by cartel gunmen along the highway that connects Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, with Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, particularly between the 16th and 28th kilometer markers.

In recent months, Nuevo Laredo has seen a rash of highway kidnappings with unsuspecting motorists being the prime targets. The true number of missing persons along those highways remains unknown.

The location where the kidnapping took place is controlled by the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas — a criminal organization that has not only made a name for themselves for their acts of extreme violence, but also for having absolute control over the city of Nuevo Laredo and surrounding areas. Mexico’s federal government remains unable to regain control of the region while CDN-Los Zetas gunmen routinely patrol the city in armored vehicles with complete impunity.

Texas Dedicates $250 Million to Build Border Wall

The State of Texas announced the dedication of $250 million to a disaster fund to build wall systems along its border with Mexico. The $250 million is being transferred from appropriated funds from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

“Though securing the international border and protecting the life and property of its citizens surrounding that border is the duty of the federal government, the current administration has shown time and time again an unwillingness to embrace this fundamental responsibility,” a letter to TDCJ Executive Director Bryan Collier signed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, House Speaker Dade Phelan, Senate Finance Committee Chair Jane Nelson, and House Appropriations Chair Greg Bonnen on Wednesday stated. “As noted in the disaster declaration, Texas has invested a significant amount of its own resources to take action where the federal government has failed.”

During a press conference in Austin on Wednesday, Abbott said Texas is stepping up to address the humanitarian crisis being faced by Texans living along the Mexican border.

“I will tell you this,” Abbott said while addressing the Texas border crisis, “the federal government is spending seemingly, all of its resources concerning the border on the people who are trying to enter into the state of Texas.”

“I’m focused on the humanitarian crisis that Texans are suffering through,” he continued. “Texans on the border are suffering through a humanitarian crisis by having their lives disrupted with guns and gangs and being riddled with crime. As Texans, we have a responsibility as leaders in this state, to step up and address their humanitarian crisis in that is what began today.”

Texas State Senator Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound) added that the Legislative Budget Board has the authority under Article 9, Section 14.04 to make the transfer during a disaster declaration. At the request of county judges along the border, Governor Abbott made such a declaration earlier this month.

Abbott called the $250 million transfer a “down payment” on what he anticipates to be hundreds of miles of new border walls to be built on land already owned by the State or private property where owners volunteer their land for this purpose.

“My belief based upon conversations that I’ve already had is that the combination of state land, as well as volunteer land, will yield hundreds of miles to build a border wall in Texas,” Abbott explained.

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick (R) said that up to three million people could illegally cross the border into the United States this year including hundreds of thousands who are never apprehended. He called the governor’s letter to President Joe Biden demanding the return of land to Texas the “most consequential letter signed by any governor in modern history.”

“This document will go down as one of the most important documents in the history of Texas,” Patrick stated. “Because it’s reclaiming our land, our border, our country, our state, for the people of Texas and America.”

House Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Orange) also praised the governor’s leadership and ingenuity for “finding a Texas solution to a Washington, D.C. problem.”

“This is a legal crisis. This is a security crisis. This is a humanitarian crisis,” Phelan said. “These are children and families being smuggled across the border. “These are drug cartels, bringing in weapons that end up on the streets of not just Texas but this entire country.”

Governor Abbott declared this program to build a Texas border wall begins today. “This program is officially funded in the State of Texas,” he declared with the signing of the order to transfer the $250 million down payment.

The governor also announced a website, BorderWall.Texas.gov, where people can learn about the plans and contribute money to help build the wall. “Many have already sent checks to the State of Texas for this purpose and many more have a desire to do so,” the governor said. “This provides a donation site, as well as the site we can find out more information about what the process is about building the border wall.”

“The Biden Administration has abandoned its responsibility to apply federal law to secure the border and to enforce the immigration laws, and Texans are suffering as a consequence of that neglect by the Biden administration,” Abbott said in conclusion. “In the federal government’s absence, Texas is stepping up to get the job done.”

“We will build a wall. We will secure the border. but most importantly, we will restore safety to the citizens who live in the Lone Star State,” the governor said.
