Migrants Brave Border Tactics, Rushing into Texas
Migrants crossing from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, into El Paso are encountering a heavily militarized border, with armed National Guard troops and miles of concertina wire, as part of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star. Videos reveal aggressive tactics by troops, including trapping individuals against razor wire and chasing them with rifles. Critics have called the tactics inhumane, while the Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating the use of concertina wire. Despite the increased military presence, migrants continue to arrive in large numbers.
