Texas DPS have arrested a National Guardsman for allegedly smuggling a migrant across the southern border, with dashcam footage showing his arrest.
A Texas National Guardsman was arrested on Sunday for allegedly smuggling an illegal immigrant across the southern border, with dashcam footage obtained by Fox News showing the moment he was arrested — just as Gov. Greg Abbott’s office said the man is a 'traitor and criminal' if the charges are true.
Fox News obtained Kinney County Sheriff's Office dashcam footage of the moment Johnson was arrested, which shows him being dragged out of the vehicle by Texas DPS law enforcement. The migrant bailed from the car during the pursuit prior to the arrest. ‘Traitor and criminal’ Abbott’s office didn’t hold back in its criticism of Johnson’s alleged actions if the charges are substantiated.
If the allegations are true, the accused is a traitor and criminal,' Abbott Press Secretary Andrew Mahaleris said in a statement to Fox News Digital. 'We have zero tolerance for Texans who violate laws that directly contradict the mission we are seeking to achieve. The accused's illegal smuggling may subject him to a mandatory minimum prison sentence of at least 10 years,' he said. 'He deserves more.
There's always been people who cross the border,' Solicitor General Aaron Nielson said in court. 'But before, we talked about hundreds of thousands. Now, we talk about millions. Before, we talked about tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors. Now, we talk about hundreds of thousands. Before, we talked about a few countries. Now, we talk about essentially all countries.
