U.S. Border Patrol Mounted Patrol agents chased down a suspected human smuggler following a dangerous police pursuit near the Texas border with Mexico. A Texas DPS trooper engaged in a vehicle pursuit after observing a suspected migrant in the pickup truck bed.
Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman, Lieutenant Chris Olivarez, posted on X (formerly Twitter), a video showing a trooper in pursuit of a suspected human smuggler in Maverick County on September 3. The trooper began the pursuit after observing what he believed to be a migrant hiding in the truck bed.
The pursuit ran through multiple neighborhoods near Highway 277 before the driver crashed through a rancher’s fence.
