Texas video shows migrants scaling border fence

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) released aerial footage of the border fence, said to be near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, that shows border guards apprehending a number of people it describes as migrants as they scale the fence to enter the United States. The department released the video on May 23 in a post on X in which it said "the DPS provided air support to the border patrol agents" as they tried to stop "a group of illegal immigrants attempting to climb the border wall near the Santa Teresa POE & illegally enter the U.S.." The people said to be migrants are also seen throwing sand and objects at the border patrol trying to detain people on the other side. Reuters was not able to independently verify the location or the date when the video was filmed. About 139,000 migrants have been apprehended in the area around El Paso, 14 miles from Santa Teresa, since Oct. 1, 2023, according to internal CBP statistics, making it one of the busier stretches of the border. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has taken a range of actions to discourage border crossings, saying Democratic President Joe Biden has not adequately secured the border. The Biden administration says that some Texas actions have interfered with immigration enforcement, which has historically been the realm of the federal government. - Report from Reuters For more ABS-CBN News, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmgG2ln-vtKXb-oLlGEZc3sR Check out the latest news on upcoming Halalan 2022 here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmiGdpGgIvyNSlUsnCKyOzAM To watch the latest updates on COVID-19, click the link below: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmgUjPkc730KnTVICyQU6gBf Subscribe to the ABS-CBN News channel! - http://bit.ly/TheABSCBNNews Watch the full episodes of TV Patrol on iWantTFC: http://bit.ly/TVPatrol-iWantTFC Visit our website at http://news.abs-cbn.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abscbnNEWS Twitter: https://twitter.com/abscbnnews #ABS-CBNHighlights #LatestNews #ABSCBNNews
