Operation Faithful Patriot in full swing
Federal immigration enforcement agents and US Army soldiers were witnessed Monday carrying out training exercises at a US-Mexico port of entry in anticipation of the migrant caravan’s arrival. Footage from the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge in South Texas shows Customs and Border Protection agents outfitted in SWAT gear, helmets and riot shields training alongside soldiers dispatched to the border as part of Operation Faithful Patriot.
Soldiers and CBP also circled the area in helicopters, while some agents were seen on horseback. Military vehicles apparently outfitted with LRAD sound cannons were also on the scene.

The photo clearly shows the area bordering Mexico along the Rio Grande River lacks any type of deterrent discouraging illegal entries.Border Patrol agent inspects area directly beneath Anzalduas International Bridge.

It was some — barbed wire used properly can be a beautiful sight.”“Women want safe neighborhoods for their families, great schools for their children, and they want violent predators like we’re talking about to be thrown in jail or thrown the hell out of our country, and that’s what we’re doing. That’s what we’re doing.”
