Defense attorneys say hundreds of migrants arrested in recent months near Eagle Pass were following signs they believed pointed the way to federal agents, to whom they could claim asylum. Instead, they were led to Department of Public Safety troopers. In some cases, attorneys say, their clients walked through open gates onto the property, a county-owned hydropower plant north of the city.
Supreme Court delays Texas deportation law for a second time Attorneys say the plant, where arrests started in September and spiked in March and April, is just one example of properties where troopers have appeared to funnel migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. Even as border crossings declined across the entire U.S.-Mexico border in recent months, Texas troopers arrested more than 450 migrants for trespassing at the plant.
