Texas authorities on Thursday caught a large group of illegal immigrants near the southern border as the state steps up efforts to combat the flow of migrants.
A large group of illegal immigrants was spotted in Texas near the southern border, including some from Iran and Africa, authorities said. Video footage captured from a drone shows 134 migrants in Maverick County on Thursday, which sits on the Texas-Mexico border, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. The group included 32 unaccompanied children and minors and seven special interest immigrants from Iran and Angola.
'It is this type of activity, these attempted illegal crossings between the ports of entry by people coming from areas that are hot spots for terrorist activity that clearly highlight the concerns of Governor Abbott and the state of Texas,' DPS Director Steven McCraw said at the time.
