New Texas DPS Mounted Border Team Tracks Down Migrant Got-Aways on Ranches



by Bob Price 7 Dec 2024

The Texas Department of Public Safety announced the graduation on November 28 of its first class of Border Mounted Patrol Unit troopers. Within a week, the team was already intercepting migrant got-aways making their way into the U.S. interior without being apprehended at the border.

Texas DPS officials announced the first appearance of the Border Mounted Patrol Unit on December 5 when the troopers worked alongside a K-9 team to track down a group of Mexican migrants on December 3. The team tracked the migrants for nearly 11 miles before arresting the migrants, attempting to avoid apprehensions.

The trek took the unit through multiple ranches in Maveick County near the Texas border with Mexico.
