However, this claim was contradicted \u2064by the administration&#8217;s own Department\u2064 of Justice (DOJ).<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d Department of Homeland Security (DHS), under Biden&#8217;s administration, alleged that Border Patrol agents were physically barred by\u2062 Texas officials from \u2064entering the area in response to a \u2062distress call \u200dfrom the Mexican government. The DHS spokesperson even went as\u2064 far as calling Texas &#8220;cruel, dangerous, and inhumane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, \u200bthe DOJ&#8217;s account of\u2063 the incident clearly refutes the \u2062allegations against\u2063 Texas authorities. According to \u2064the\u2062 DOJ, the Mexican government informed Border Patrol at \u20639:00 p.m. on January \u206412 that three \u200dmigrants, including two children and one woman, had drowned at 8:00 p.m.\u200c Border Patrol then notified\u200c the Texas Military Department\u200c of the drowning over an hour after\u200d it had occurred.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The \u2062Biden administration once again \u200cpushed a\u200d false narrative at\u200c the border, now \u200drefuted by their own DOJ.<\/p>\n<p>White House claim: \u201cOn Friday night, a woman and two children drowned near \u200cEagle Pass, and Texas \u2063officials blocked U.S. Border Patrol from attempting to provide emergency\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B8bsP13Mxv\">pic.twitter.com\/B8bsP13Mxv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bill\u2064 Melugin (@BillMelugin_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillMelugin_\/status\/1747297598027821314?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 16, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This allegation came shortly after the state of Texas took control of a \u2063park in \u2063Eagle Pass that was previously used by Border Patrol to process illegal immigrants. This move \u2062is part of an ongoing feud\u2063 between Texas and the federal government, \u200bwith\u2064 legal\u2063 battles \u2062over the federal government&#8217;s decision to remove razor \u200cwire placed on the border\u200b by the state.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas Military Department directly addressed\u200c the\u2063 claim, stating, \u2063&#8221;At no \u2064time did TMD security personnel along the river observe any distressed\u200b migrants, nor did TMD turn back any illegal immigrants from the \u2062US during this \u2064period.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the tragic incident\u200d occurred, other migrants \u200dwho struggled to cross the Rio Grande\u2062 were rescued by the Mexican government approximately 45 minutes\u2063 after Border Patrol \u200cinformed Texas authorities. U.S. Rep. Henry\u200d Cuellar\u200d (D-TX) used this\u200d incident to criticize \u2064Texas for\u2063 defending its borders, claiming that the state &#8220;bears responsibility&#8221; for the deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Texas&#8217; decision\u200d to\u2063 secure \u2063its\u2063 border\u2062 comes as the United States faces an unprecedented surge of illegal aliens,\u200b with over 10 million crossing the border since Joe Biden took\u2062 office. This surge includes a record-breaking number of Chinese\u200d nationals \u200cand a 1,000% increase in illegal immigration from\u200d Afghanistan, Ethiopia, the Dominican Republic, and other countries.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200c November, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidenvasion-nearly-5-million-illegals-have-entered-u-s-since-biden-took-office\/\" title=\"Bidenvasion: Nearly 5 Million Illegals Have Entered U.S. Since Biden Took Office\">previous monthly record<\/a> for southern border encounters was\u2062 broken, with just under a quarter million migrants encountered,\u2064 according to official DHS statistics. Customs\u200b and\u200c Border\u2063 Patrol reported \u200ba \u2064total of 308,728 encounters nationwide during that month. December&#8217;s statistics \u2064have yet to\u2064 be released, but the reported\u200d number of encounters at the \u2062southern \u200cborder was over 300,000.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does the \u200cBiden administration&#8217;s consistent misrepresentation of facts at the \u2064border hinder efforts to address\u2064 the ongoing crisis<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \/BnGFog1syH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenTedCruz\/status\/1486197958608323586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Contrary to the Biden administration&#8217;s claim, the Texas Military Department immediately deployed resources in response to the\u200d \u2063distress call from the Border Patrol. The state agency dispatched a helicopter and\u2064 first responders within minutes of receiving\u2062 the notification.\u200c Moreover, the Texas authorities were able to recover the bodies of the victims\u200d and provided necessary medical assistance. These actions by Texas\u200c officials clearly\u2062 demonstrate their commitment to saving lives at the border.<\/p>\n<p>It is not only misleading but also irresponsible for the Biden administration\u200d to make false and inflammatory accusations against Texas officials \u2064without proper evidence. This kind of baseless rhetoric undermines the cooperation\u2062 and trust between\u200c federal and state agencies who should be working together to address the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-lawmakers-condemn-biden-admin-over-border-crisis\/\" title=\"GOP lawmakers condemn Biden admin. over border crisis\">ongoing border crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This incident highlights a\u2063 broader pattern of the Biden administration&#8217;s consistent misrepresentation of facts at the border. The false narrative perpetuated by the administration only serves to distract from the real issues at \u2063hand, such as the alarming increase in illegal border crossings and the strain it places on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregon-governor-encourages-people-to-call-police-on-neighbors-violating-covid-orders\/\" title=\"Oregon Governor Encourages People To Call Police On Neighbors Violating COVID Orders\">law enforcement agencies<\/a>. It is more important than ever for the administration to prioritize truth and transparency in order to \u200beffectively address the \u2062challenges \u200dand find viable \u200dsolutions.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it is disheartening to\u2064 witness the Biden \u200cadministration resorting to personal attacks and name-calling instead of engaging in constructive dialogue with Texas officials. Such \u200cbehavior is unbecoming of the highest office in the land and does\u200c not reflect the professionalism and integrity expected from our government leaders.<\/p>\n<p>As the DOJ&#8217;s own account \u2063has clearly debunked the Biden administration&#8217;s \u2064claim, it is imperative that they correct \u200bthe record and apologize for their false accusations against Texas \u2064authorities. Failure to do so will only further erode the public&#8217;s trust \u2062in the administration and undermine their credibility on matters of border security and immigration. The American people deserve honesty and\u200c accuracy from their government, especially when\u200d it comes\u200b to \u2064issues as critical as the safety and well-being of individuals seeking a better life within\u200b our borders.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2063 conclusion, the Biden administration&#8217;s false claim regarding Texas preventing Border Patrol rescue has been undermined \u200dby their very own Department of Justice. The Texas\u200b authorities swiftly responded to the distress call, deployed necessary resources, and played an integral role in recovering the bodies of the victims. It is essential for the Biden administration to acknowledge their error, \u200bapologize, \u2063and \u2062prioritize truth and transparency moving forward. Only by doing so can we hope to address the challenges at the border \u200beffectively and restore\u200d public trust \u200bin our government&#8217;s handling of these crucial matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A claim by the Biden administration that Texas hindered federal Border Patrol agents from saving three drowned migrants at the southern border was contradicted by the Department of Justice.
