Texas Man Arrested for Smuggling Migrants After Pursuit near Border
by Bob Price 8 Mar 2025
A man from Laredo, Texas, is under arrest after Texas Department of Public Safety troopers allegedly caught him smuggling illegal aliens. The arrest followed a dangerous high-speed pursuit through a residential neighborhood near the state’s border with Mexico.
Despite the record-setting drop in migrant encounters along the southwest border with Mexico, as reported by Breitbart Texas, human smugglers continue to attempt to move migrant gotaways from the border region to the U.S. interior. “February proved our combined efforts in securing the border WORK,” U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks posted on X. “USBP apprehended 8,326 illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border, making it the lowest month in recorded history.”
Texas DPS Spokesman Lt. Chris Oliverez posted a video on X showing a DPS trooper in pursuit of a black Lincoln SUV. The driver, later identified as Laredo, Texas, resident Melvin Toraya, refused to stop and led law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit.
