TX Troopers Apprehend Special Interest Group from Afghanistan
11/17: TxDPS Troopers encountered a group of 154 illegal immigrants from Ecuador, Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba, & the Dominican Republic who illegally crossed the Rio Grande between the ports of entry in Eagle Pass, TX.
The group included 6 special interest immigrants from Afghanistan & 20 unaccompanied children (15 males & 5 females).
The group was turned over to USBP since they initially crossed on federal land / private land w/o physical barriers due to no landowner consent.
