Border Patrol agents arrested more than 170 illegal immigrants traveling in a large group across the southern border near Normandy, Texas, on Monday.
“Agents from our Eagle Pass Station just arrested over 170 undocumented migrants near Normandy,” the Del Rio, Texas, chief patrol agent Twitter account reported.
“We continue to patrol our remote areas as we work to detect, identify, and arrest anyone that illegally enters the United States!” it said.
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz retweeted the post, adding, “The #BidenBorderCrisis continues to rage.”
The arrests come as Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott explained on Twitter what his administration has done to try to deal with the Border crisis.
“Texas has thousands of Texas Guard & Texas Dept. of Public Safety officers deployed to secure the border,” Abbott tweeted Monday as he shared a clip of his interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo.
“We’re building a border wall,” the governor added. “The Biden Administration has abandoned the people who live on the border, but Texas is keeping them & communities across the state safe.”
“Texas is stepping up to do more than any state has ever done,” Abbott said during the Fox News interview. “Texas has devoted more than $3 billion to secure the border.”
