Video: Texas Troops Respond Swiftly to Foreign Flag Planted by Illegal Immigrants on US Soil
Illegal Immigrants Plant Foreign Flag on US Soil, Texas Troops Take Action
As the porous border near Eagle Pass, Texas, continues to witness a massive influx of illegal immigrants, one group decided to stake a claim on a part of Texas in the name of the nation they had presumably escaped from.
Lt. Chris Olivarez, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety’s South Texas Region, revealed that many of the immigrants were from Venezuela, although the flag they planted on a Texas island appeared to be Colombian.
However, the DPS’ Tactical Marine Unit was not going to let the foreign flag remain on American soil.
“The #EaglePass area continues to experience an influx of illegal immigrants – the majority from Venezuela,” Olivarez wrote in a post on X. “Some decided to claim a #Texas island by placing a foreign flag – that was quickly taken care of by our DPS Tactical Marine Unit.”
Olivarez even shared a video of the team removing the flag.

This incident is just one of the recent reports highlighting the overwhelming number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. from Mexico near Eagle Pass.
Bill Melugin, a national correspondent for Fox News, also shared a video of an illegal crossing on X last week.
“BREAKING: One of the largest mass illegal crossings we have ever seen took place in Eagle Pass, TX this morning, with Border Patrol sources telling us over 2,200 people crossed there since midnight,” he wrote.
“It happened right next to the port of entry, as illegal immigrants continue to ignore Biden admin messaging of ‘do not come’, and do not fear the promised ‘consequences’ for crossing illegally. Videos from source in MX & our FOX drone team on US side.”
Melugin included four videos in the post.

The videos provide evidence that hundreds, if not thousands, of illegal border crossers were involved in the event.
Several X users, including CEO Elon Musk, responded to Melugin’s post.
“Most people don’t understand that this is not a case of people from Mexico entering the US, but anyone from Earth,” Musk wrote.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s administration has been selling off materials previously purchased to build a wall along portions of the U.S.-Mexico border.
In addition, a chief border patrol agent in Vermont revealed that illegal border crossings into the U.S. from Canada in 2023 were already higher than “the last 10 years combined.”

How can diplomatic efforts help alleviate the pressure on U.S. borders by addressing political and economic instability in countries like Venezuela

The issue of illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border has been a contentious topic for years, and the situation in Eagle Pass is just one example of the challenges faced by authorities in securing the border.
The fact that some illegal immigrants would go as far as planting a foreign flag on American soil signifies a bold statement of disregard for U.S. laws and sovereignty. The actions of these individuals not only violate the rule of law, but they also undermine the principles of national sovereignty and the integrity of our borders.
The response from the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Tactical Marine Unit demonstrates that there are dedicated and capable personnel working tirelessly to address the issue of illegal immigration. Their prompt action in removing the foreign flag from the Texas island sends a strong message that the U.S. will not tolerate such acts of defiance.
This incident also sheds light on the larger problem of illegal border crossings near Eagle Pass. With over 2,200 people crossing the border in a single day, it is evident that the situation is reaching crisis levels. This poses significant challenges not just for law enforcement but also for the local communities who have to bear the burden of accommodating and providing for these individuals.
The Biden administration’s messaging of “do not come” and promises of consequences for illegal crossings seem to be falling on deaf ears. The continued surge of illegal immigrants, as shown in the videos shared by Bill Melugin, is proof that more needs to be done to address the root causes of illegal immigration and strengthen border security.
It is essential for the federal government to allocate resources and collaborate with state and local authorities to develop effective strategies to secure the border. This includes investing in technology, increasing manpower, and implementing policies that deter illegal immigration.
Furthermore, diplomatic efforts should be made to address the political and economic instability in countries like Venezuela, which is driving people to flee their homes in search of a better life. By addressing the underlying causes of migration, the U.S. can work towards long-term solutions that alleviate the pressure on our borders.
In conclusion, the incident of illegal immigrants planting a foreign flag on U.S. soil near Eagle Pass is a stark reminder of the challenges posed by illegal immigration. It highlights the need for a comprehensive and multifaceted approach to securing the border and addressing the root causes of migration. The actions of the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Tactical Marine Unit serve as a testament to the commitment and dedication of law enforcement personnel in protecting the integrity of our borders. It is crucial that federal, state, and local authorities work together to find sustainable solutions that uphold the rule of law and safeguard national sovereignty.
