Drone Guides Texas Police to Migrant Group Hiding on Border Area Ranch



by BOB PRICE 11 Oct 2022

Texas Department of Public Safety troopers utilize drone technology to help apprehend migrants trespassing on ranches near the border. Even when the migrants run under cover of darkness, the drones are able to track their movements and lead troopers to their location.

A video tweeted by Texas DPS spokesman Lt. Christopher Olivarez shows the effectiveness of drone technology in finding migrant groups on the vast acreages of ranches situated near the border. The video shows a group of migrants hiding in the brush and a group of DPS troopers being guided to their location.

Because of Biden's open border policies, drug cartels are profiting off of fentanyl trafficking & human smuggling.
Texas declared drug cartels terrorist organizations weeks ago.
It's past time for Biden to join us.
