‘We Are Under Siege,’ Texas Sheriff Says of Border Crisis
< < Go Back
Kinney County, Texas, is “under siege by illegal aliens and smugglers,” Sheriff Brad Coe testified Wednesday during a House committee hearing.
“The number of migrants seen on game cameras … , we’re averaging between 160 and 180 people per night that are going through the county unchallenged,” Coe said during the Homeland Security Committee’s hearing in McAllen, Texas.
“That comes out to roughly 60,000 people entered through my county this year,” Coe added during the hearing, which committee Democrats refused to attend.
Coe was one of five individuals to testify during the hearing, which focused on policies under Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and was titled “Failure by Design: Examining Secretary Mayorkas’ Border Crisis.”
“Currently, we’re under siege by illegal aliens and smugglers coming into the county trying to get to destinations within the United States,” Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe says.pic.twitter.com/Sg1mhKPm0x
