Texas DPS Teams Up with Border Patrol to Catch Four Illegal Immigrants

In a recent operation, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) joined forces with the Border Patrol to catch four illegal immigrants hiding in the brush of Starr County. The DPS's K9 unit, led by the skilled dog "Zita, " played a crucial role in tracking down the four women who had just crossed the Rio Grande. Among them was a "special interest alien" from China, a term used to describe individuals who may pose a heightened threat to national security. The collaboration between state and federal agencies has been effective in capturing illegal immigrants, especially in Texas, where the DPS and Border Patrol work well together. This success comes at a time when illegal immigration and deportation policies are a hot topic in the United States. President Trump, back in office since January 2025, has made good on his promise to secure the border. Illegal crossings have dropped significantly under his administration. However, the previous four years saw an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants enter the U. S. due to open border policies, creating a challenging situation for law enforcement. The U. S. Constitution, specifically Article IV, Section 4, tasks the federal government with protecting states from invasions. This responsibility has become more complex due to the high number of illegal immigrants entering the country. Additionally, the resistance from lawless Democrat rule in some states has made it harder for law enforcement agencies like ICE and the Border Patrol to do their jobs safely and effectively. President Trump's administration has reintroduced common sense and the rule of law, aiming to address these complex issues. The recent operation in Starr County is a testament to the ongoing efforts to secure the border and enforce immigration laws.
