Fox News’ Casey Stegall reports on Kinney County, Texas, becoming a smuggling route for the cartels.
A former elite Mexican police officer who was on the run for the horrific slaying of 19 migrants three years ago has been arrested by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in Texas.
The now-captured fugitive, who has not been named, was wanted for his role in the bloody massacre which saw 16 Guatemalans, one El Salvadoran and two Mexican citizens murdered in Camargo, Tamaulipas, on Jan. 21, 2021, CBP said in a statement on Tuesday.
The migrants were part of a convoy trying to reach the U.S.-Mexico border when they were intercepted and murdered by police officers. The migrants were shot by police officers, and their bodies were burned, according to CBP.
