ENCINAL, Texas — Local officials celebrated the arrival of a contingent of more than 100 Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol troopers at a luncheon held for law enforcement officers and first responders on Friday. Constable Rene Maldonado requested Texas Governor Greg Abbot deploy the contingent of troopers to the area. According to the Constable, the arrival of the troopers significantly reduced the migrant smuggling activity on Interstate 35 and local highways.
“Where our office was seeing multiple human smuggling events and highway pursuits daily, the presence of the additional troopers has reduced that to almost zero on many days,” Sauceda told Breitbart Texas. Sauceda says the difference is noticeable among the local law enforcement officials and by the community as well.
Community leaders put the luncheon together to thank the troopers for the enhanced security brought to the area. Texas Ranger Lieutenant Randy Garcia attended the event and spoke to those gathered about his career and the current efforts of Governor Abbott’s Operation Lone Star in border communities. Texas DPS trooper Alena Gallardo, a member of the department’s mounted horse patrol, kicked off the event by singing the national anthem.U.S.
