Brian youre, exactly right,
we have been embedded with the
Department of Public Safety
s special unit, thats
out here, patrolling as well as
in the air on the
ground where the ranchers

I had the opportunity to go out on some chases with them
on some chases with them.
Yesterday, take a look
about thirty illegal immigrants
on your property.
This is the first time this ever
happened.
Oh no, sir. This happened
daily and weekly.
It slowed down for a little bit.
Maybe two or three weeks ago,
but now its back again,
it was slow out here I never
saw border patrol, maybe once a
week
you know when dps theyre
here to still help, but we cant
allow them
reporter. They arent allowed to
arrest these folks. How do you
feel about that?
Oh im upset.
We cant get the
administration to allow
us
reporter. So what is the
difference with dps arrests
them and they charge them with
criminal trespassing?
They go to jail.
We slow it down a little bit
reporter when border patrol
arrests them they release them
back into Mexico, and how long
does it take them to be back
over here?
I wouldnt be surprised if
its tomorrow night,
when you have that revolving
door, itll, never stop.
The question is now: are they
going to come and break into my
house or what do they do
reporter? That runs through your
mind,
all the time when youre out
on the ranch
reporter. Do you worry about
your familys safety?
Oh yeah! This is thirty, two right

The government changed and the
new president changed the
rules and he canceled my
case
thats. Why im trying to go? See
my family
reporter? What is your friends
story?
My friends story. He is my
wifes brother
hes, no coyote, no, nothing

No,
he said he got deported for
no driver license. Do you have any id
reporter lets run through some
reporter lets run through some
of the criminal backgrounds?
This individual here hes
from Mexico and hes, been
arrested for possession of
methamphetamine and also illegal
entry that be a charge for
border patrol
reporter correct.
This individual here has
been arrested for multiple
illegal entries, which are
charges from border patrol
which are deportation, charges,
theft and domestic violence,
which were here in the United
Statesment reporter. Are you
trying to go see that same wife
when you get here? Were you
planning on meeting her?
This is another wife,
yes
reporter, where your kids are as
well
as my girlfriend
reporter now to the detention
center. This is the part of
Operation Lone STAR. The
property owners gave Trooper
S Department of Public
safety, the condition to come on
their property.
They coordinated with them and
once they got some of the
sensors Texas troopers were
able to come out to the scene
and process them.
Men and women protecting the
border worry day and night,
even flying over the southern
border in helicopters, eyes in
the sky and those on the ground.
We got a group of about a
dozen here.
I dont see any kids with
them,
but theyre young,
probably hes, maybe in his 30s
hes, probably in his 20s theres
movement, there
theyre on the move
straight and keep going north
theres about ten, maybe ten
they are heading closer to the
opening of the fence.
We got the light on them,
200
right in front of you.
There is your picture
reporter, so guys, dps has
arrested about one thousand two hundred illegals
since July,
a little breaking news for you. I
just got a tip from one of our
sources that we have been
embedded with.
They just arrested three illegal
s right behind us on this
train that was coming into
the country.
This is a common practice that
they use. They will jump on the
train and thats. Why dps
and the special
operations units start to check
them during these checkpoints
here
Ainsley on that very train on
the very train
Steve, we heard the whistle
