An illegal alien from Mexico was arrested along with five illegals he was transporting following a wild pursuit across private ranch land in Texas this week, according to authorities.
The incident unfolded on Wednesday in Maverick County near the southern border.
The driver of a Ford pickup truck led Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) troopers on a high-speed chase along U.S. 277 before barreling through a ranch fence and into the scrub.
TxDPS released footage of the bust, which involved aircraft, U.S. Border Patrol Horse Patrol, and a brush team.

After crashing through five ranch fences, the vehicle eventually came to a stop and six male occupants bailed out and attempted to flee on foot.
They were all apprehended and identified as illegal aliens from Mexico, including the driver.
“The smuggler, Carlos Alberto Urbina Miralda, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was charged with five counts of smuggling of persons, five counts of criminal trespass, five counts of criminal mischief, evading arrest, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a statement.
The five passengers were each charged with with five counts of criminal mischief, five counts of criminal trespass, and evading arrest on foot.
Authorities discovered one of the illegals, Nestor Farid Garcia Morales, was wanted on six outstanding warrants in Saint Croix County, Wisconsin.
