Texas authorities have captured six Chinese nationals wearing full camouflage as they attempted to illegally cross the southern border and evade detection on a private ranch in Maverick County near Eagle Pass.
U.S. Border Patrol agents, working with Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and K-9 units under Operation Lone Star, apprehended the group Tuesday night. The six Chinese nationals were part of a larger group of 12 illegal immigrants caught trying to slip through on private property.
Texas DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez posted the details on X on Wednesday:
“In a second apprehension later that night, U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended 12 illegal immigrants on a private ranch in Maverick County, including six Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) from China, all dressed in camouflage.”
