Texas Scorecard by Robert Montoya August 26, 2021
While Gov. Greg Abbott dawdles, a neighboring county sends law enforcement to help with the open border.Galveston County law enforcement officers helping respond to Texas’ open border crisis described a dire situation in a recently published video. State officials have denied or not yet approved aid that a Texas border county requested, nor have they stopped illegal border crossings.
After Galveston County Judge Mark Henry sanctioned local law enforcement officers aiding Texas’ border counties in response to the open border crisis, Galveston officers came to help Kinney County, which lies approximately 360 miles west of Galveston and 200 miles southwest of Austin. The Galveston contingent consists of two constables, two deputy constables, and a sheriff’s deputy.
On August 25, Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith published a video of these officials sharing what they’ve witnessed.
“Man, was I surprised when I got down here several days ago,” Galveston County Constable Jimmy Fullen said.
In the video, law enforcement officials are shown pursuing and, in some cases, successfully arresting illegal aliens. The video’s footage is plentiful, taking place in broad daylight and the dark of night, in a small town and in the countryside. Some of the video shows a high-speed chase. Illegal aliens are shown jumping from vehicles and running in different directions from law enforcement, and officers are seen pursuing or rounding up anywhere from four to about 15 illegal aliens at a time.
