A Texas National Guardsman was arrested on Sunday for allegedly smuggling an illegal immigrant across the southern border. Dashcam footage obtained by Fox News shows the dramatic moment of his arrest in Brackettville, Texas. Savion Johnson faces charges of evading arrest, smuggling of persons, and unlawful carry of a weapon.
Confirmed by Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe, the individual arrested was identified as a Texas National Guard soldier. Sources within the Texas National Guard confirmed his status and involvement in smuggling the migrant using a government vehicle. Governor Greg Abbott’s office condemned Johnson’s alleged actions, branding him a “traitor and criminal” pending investigation.
The incident occurred amidst heightened tensions between Texas and the federal government over immigration policies. Governor Abbott’s Operation Lone Star has increased law enforcement presence along the southern border, while the state battles the Department of Justice over its anti-illegal immigration law.
The arrest underscores the challenges in securing the border and enforcing immigration regulations. As legal proceedings continue, questions arise regarding states’ authority in immigration enforcement and the federal government’s role in addressing border security concerns.
