Illegal Immigrants Arrested After Charging Texas National Guard

Authorities have arrested 70 illegal immigrants involved in charging the National Guard stationed near the southern border in El Paso, Texas.

An Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) source told The New York Post that the 70 individuals “face charges for misdemeanor rioting.” An additional 200 migrants are behind held.

Following the event, some soldiers were treated for minor injuries.

Honduran immigrant Junior Evaristo-Benitez was the first to be charged after allegedly stepping on a soldier’s knee “purposefully and with malice,” The Post reported.

Responding to the video, a White House spokesperson told The Daily Caller, “When the former President told Congressional Republicans to block the bipartisan border security agreement – he said to blame him for it. Well he got his wish, and the result was chaos after Governor Abbott’s Operational Lone Star and razorwire were overrun yesterday. While we cannot comment on individual cases, anyone who does not have a legal basis to remain in the United States is promptly removed.”
