Texas Deputies Help Capture 25 Illegal Immigrants -- Including Unaccompanied 15-Yr-Ol
Texas Deputies Help Capture 25 Illegal Immigrants -- Including Unaccompanied 15-Yr-Old Girl

Brooks County Reserve Deputy Daniel Walden assisted U.S. Border Patrol agents in the capture of twenty-five illegal immigrants, including a fifteen-year-old unaccompanied girl. The apprehensions occurred eighty miles north of the Texas-Mexico border. The group had reportedly hiked the entire trip from where they crossed the border to where they were captured.
Deputy Walden was on patrol in Brooks County approximately 25 miles southwest of Falfurrias when he received the call that Border Patrol was tracking the group. This was Walden’s first patrol since surviving an accident where his patrol vehicle hydroplaned in a downburst and rolled two-and-one-half times. Walden was badly shaken in the accident but was gratefully uninjured. This writer was a passenger in that accident and was also uninjured.
“These are twenty-five people who will not end up as death statistics in Brooks County,” Walden observed. “This is why we search for them now and save them from a fate much worse.”
More than fifty illegal immigrants have been found dead in Brook County this year according to Chief Deputy Benny Martinez. “It is a very sad thing when we have to go out and recover the bodies,” Martinez said in an interview with Breitbart Texas. “By rescuing them on the south side of the county, we don’t have to recover their bodies on the north side of the county.”
Walden told Breitbart Texas that one of the people being smuggled was a fifteen-year-old girl from Mexico. She was traveling without any adult family members. “It was impossible to tell, at the scene, if she was a human trafficking victim,” Walden said in response to a Breitbart Texas inquiry. “This is a very long way for a young girl to be traveling alone with a large group of men.”
Females are often-times raped multiple times during human smuggling journeys. Their smugglers, or coyotes, often prey on the young women on the long nights of the journey.
Walden serves as a human trafficking instructor for classes held across the state of Texas.
He is part of a group of police officers from across South Texas who volunteer their time to travel to Brooks County at their own expense and work for free as reserve Brooks County deputies. Walden founded the group called the Border Brotherhood of Texas.
He was assisted in the search by some night-vision equipment that was donated to the group by another non-profit group called Troops Need You. They have donated several night-vision scopes to help the deputies track down the illegal immigrants who often bail out into the woods and the cover of darkness after being pursued by the deputies.
“Darkness is not your friend,” Walden said. “The donation of this equipment by Troops Need You is of great assistance as we try to rescue these people who often get lost in the brush at night.”
The Border Brotherhood of Texas is a group of certified peace officers. They volunteer their time, and often their own money, to drive to Brooks County to serve on 12-hour shifts patrolling the highways looking for human smugglers, drug traffickers and other criminal activity. More information about the group can be found on their Facebook page.
