One day earlier, the Border Patrol union officials tweeted images of a group of migrants being transported in the back of a pickup truck in 3-degree weather conditions. Despite the arrest by agents of the human smugglers, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas declined to prosecute and the smugglers were released.
Forgot to add to this post. The United Stated Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute the Human Smugglers, both were released without any charges. #BPUNION #BorderCrisis

“Little do they know, but our Agents likely saved their lives, despite them trying to get away,” NBPC union officials tweeted the next day. “Temperature dropped into subzeros that night.”
