VIDEO: Alleged Human Smuggler with Five Migrants Flees from Texas Troopers near Border
An alleged human smuggler from Houston led Texas Department of Public Safety troopers on a high-speed chase while transporting five migrants. The driver and migrants reportedly fled on foot at the end of the pursuit.
Texas DPS spokesman Lieutenant Chris Olivarez reported that a man from Houston failed to yield to troopers during an attempted traffic stop on August 19 in Kinney County. The driver reportedly led police on a high-speed pursuit in the dark of night.
The video shows the driver slowing and pulling into the oncoming lane of traffic before jumping out of the still-moving sedan. The vehicle then swerves back across the roadway and the driver attempts to flee on foot.
The man stumbles before reaching a fence and is placed under arrest by a pursuing trooper assigned to the border region under Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.
During questioning, the driver, identified later as Dashon Ahmad Hamilton, said he was from the east side of Houston.

Police found five migrants, three women and two men, in the sedan after it came to a stop. No one appears to have been injured in the incident.
Troopers turned the five migrants over to Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents. Law enforcement authorities did not release their nationality.
Troopers arrested Hamilton, who now faces charges of evading arrest and smuggling of persons.
Court records obtained by Breitbart Texas show Hamilton has an extensive criminal history, including charges of aggravated robbery in Texas and Louisiana. He was also previously arrested on a charge of a felon possessing a firearm and for evading arrest.

Human Smugglers Abandon Migrant Children in Heatwave Along Texas Border
Texas Department of Public Safety troopers rescued two young migrant children who had been abandoned in a brushy area by human smugglers along the Rio Grande border with Mexico. The children, who are four and seven years old, only had a sheet of paper with a contact number for two relatives in Alabama.
The incident occurred this week near Eagle Pass, Texas, where human smugglers had left a four-year-old boy and his seven-year-old sister near the Rio Grande. According to information released by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the two children were from Chiapas, Mexico. In a 24-hour span, troopers deployed under Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star found two more abandoned children near Eagle Pass, one of the busiest human smuggling corridors into Texas, despite the life-endangering heat wave experienced during the past month.
Due to the lack of physical barriers at the border and the complicity of Mexican authorities, human smugglers have turned the state of Coahuila into one of the top routes for moving migrants and “asylum seekers” into Texas. Since the start of the year, there have been close to 100 fatalities on both sides of the border, Breitbart Texas reported.

Cartel Gunmen Hang Bodies from Border State Overpass in Mexico
Cartel gunmen hung three bodies from a highway overpass in a Mexican state that borders Texas. The gory crime comes at a time when the state of Nuevo Leon is experiencing an unending rise in cartel violence.
The gory crime scene took place on Thursday early morning in Salinas Victoria, located just north of the Monterrey metropolitan area. At the scene, authorities found the bodies of three unidentified victims who had been strung up from a highway overpass near the 21st-kilometer marker along the highway that connects Monterrey with the Colombia International Bridge.
The incident took place as the state of Nuevo Leon continues to be one of the regions with the most targeted killings in Mexico. Various cartels continue to fight for control of drug corridors into Texas.
Soon after the killing, one of Monterrey’s most outspoken politicians, Waldo Fernandez, a state legislator from the MORENA Party, took to social media to call for a unified front in dealing with cartel violence.
He said that criminal organizations are intimidating and spreading fear among innocent civilians while government officials and authorities are busy trying to score political points.
“He who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it,” Fernandez said in a streamed video where he recalled the region’s dark history. The cartel violence of ten years ago witnessed drug cartels fighting each other in a fierce turf war that escalated to attacks on law enforcement and ultimately to attacks on innocent civilians that simply became “collateral damage.”
“Today in the state of Nuevo Leon, we are seeing the same,” Fernandez said, recalling a similar scene on the city’s south side ten years before where gunmen hung a body from an overpass and set fire to it. “These acts are acts of intimidation between one cartel and another one, it is between organized crime groups, but they are acts of intimidation for the local citizenry.”
Fernandez spoke to Breitbart Texas and stated that it was time for government officials to establish a series of security boards to coordinate law enforcement activities at the local, state, and federal levels to keep the cartel violence from spiraling out of control even more. The Mexican state legislator claimed that politicians from various parties have focused on pushing their own agendas instead of providing a unified front against organized crime.
“As long as this political conflict continues, the only thing that is going to happen is that in Nuevo Leon, criminals will continue having a party,” Fernandez concluded.
