BREAKING: Florida officials confirm to @FoxNews that FL flew migrants to California. They say the migrants went voluntarily, gave verbal & written consent, & provided video appearing to show migrants signing waivers, celebrating as they arrive, & saying they were treated well.
Incredible seizure! Last week Yuma agents working checkpoint operations seized over 190lbs of fentanyl after a #K9 alert. That is enough fentanyl to kill over 40 million people. I recently visited Yuma and am amazed by their dedication to the mission!

I’m told the group of 5 suspected CDN cartel members also had two pretty terrified looking juveniles with them who were later found in the brush after the group was arrested.

NEW: Per fed & TX law enforcement sources, multiple times this week, suspected members of the Northeast Cartel, armed w/ rifles, crossed into the US in the Fronton, TX area in the RGV. 5 arrested yesterday via Border Patrol, @TxDPS, & @TXMilitary. Others seen on cam.

This is the stark reality of having an unsecured international border & the threats to public safety & national security.
Great work by @TxDPS, @TXMilitary, & #USBP! #OperationLoneStar
BORDER PATROL REPORTING 55,000 MIGRANT APPREHENSIONS IN ONE SINGULAR WEEK.
Numbers already exploding at the border ahead of the expiration of title 42 on Thurs 5/11 & more expected chaos.
@BillFOXLA live from Brownsville, TX:
@BillHemmer@DanaPerino
BREAKING: Border Patrol reports a staggering 26,382 migrant apprehensions in just a 3 day span. That is an average of 8,794 per day, which is the highest daily average I have ever seen reported.
NEW: Our live report w/ @BretBaier from Brownsville tonight.
- One of the largest groups we’ve ever seen.
- 26,000 + migrant apprehensions, 7,400 gotaways in just 72 hours.
- TX Gov. @GregAbbott_TX deploying new force of hundreds of TX soldiers w/ riot gear ahead of T42 drop.
A @TxDPS Special Agent & Trooper disrupted a human smuggling attempt on US 90 in Del Rio. The driver, Vladyslava Bodrova, 24, of Ukraine, and passenger, Quinten Hardy, 26, of Houston, were arrested for smuggling 5 illegal immigrants from Honduras. The couple was to transport the illegal immigrants to San Antonio & receive $1,500 per person. #OperationLoneStar
Tonight in #Brownsville, I’m providing an update at the ground level on the latest initiatives from @TxDPS & @TXMilitary leading up to #T42 in containing crossing points between the ports of entry along the Rio Grande River to prevent, deter, & interdict illegal crossings. #OperationLoneStar
NEW: Per multiple CBP sources, last night, CBP & Border Patrol leadership made decision to authorize all Border Patrol sectors to begin “safe” street releases of migrants to communities across border *if* NGO shelters and CBP facilities do not have the capacity to hold them.
This means in coming days we will likely begin to see mass releases of migrants at bus stops, gas stations, supermarkets etc in communities across the border as illegal crossings continue to surge to record highs ahead of T42 drop in 2 days.
TIP: Several federal law enforcement officials monitoring the 2500 migrants outside Sacred Heart in El Paso told me some people living on streets are confirmed members of Tren de Aragua, a gang that emerged from a Venezuelan prison in Tocoron.

BREAKING : Massive line of illegal immigrants turning themselves in to immigration officials after DHS announced an enforcement operation
on migrants who evaded border patrol agents in El Paso. Majority of migrants in line are males from Venezuela @NewsNation
NEW: Our Fox drone over another enormous group of migrants who crossed illegally into Brownsville yesterday evening. As of yesterday, CBP sources tell us Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley sector was already running at 140% capacity in its facilities, and T42 hasn’t dropped yet.
NEW: Per CBP sources, Border Patrol apprehended more than 10,300 migrants who crossed illegally yesterday, and Monday also broke the 10,000 threshold. I’m told these are the highest single day totals ever recorded - and it’s expected to go even higher after T42 drops tomorrow.
FYI: When you hear DHS Secretary Mayorkas say that migrants are placed into “removal proceedings”, that doesn’t mean they are being removed. Sometimes it does, but a large majority of the time, it means release w/ future court date. That is part of Title 8 “removal proceedings.”
