Greg Abbott said Department of Public Safety troopers had been instructed to “arrest every illegal immigrant involved” in the March 21 breach in which National Guard members were allegedly assaulted.Members of the Texas National Guard and Border Patrol agents at a border gate where migrants who forced their way through concertina wire wait to be processed by the Border Patrol in El Paso on March 21, 2024.
DPS is looking for the other two people accused of leading the charge, who were released by Border Patrol agents, Hicks said. On Easter Sunday, a judge released an unspecified number of the migrants on personal bonds after denying prosecutors’ request to postpone bond review hearings until after the holiday. Hicks said he was told the released migrants had federal detainers and were presumably deported following their release.
At a separate news conference Tuesday, El Paso Chief Public Defender Kelli Childress said the charges against the migrants were unfounded and that her office planned to challenge them. It was not immediately clear how many of the migrants her office is tasked with defending.
