A Texas National Guardsman was arrested for allegedly smuggling an illegal immigrant across the southern border, with dashcam footage showing the moment of arrest. The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed the arrest of Savion Johnson on charges of evading arrest, smuggling of persons, and unlawful carry of a weapon. Governor Greg Abbott's office condemned the alleged actions, stating that if the allegations are true, the accused is a "traitor and criminal." The arrest comes amid increased resources and law enforcement on the southern border as part of Operation Lone Star, an effort to secure the border in the absence of federal leadership.

Mexican drug cartels are profiting from the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, turning entire border towns into war zones as they fight for control of the lucrative human smuggling business. Cartels are extorting, kidnapping, and battling each other for a share of the profits, leading to increased violence and homicides in cities like Ciudad Juárez. Migrants are being targeted and exploited, with one Venezuelan migrant expressing fear for his family's safety as they face extortion and kidnapping threats. The situation has also led to clashes with Mexican and U.S. authorities, with record-setting numbers of migrant apprehensions in 2023.
