Border Sheriff Sounds The Alarm, Puts Out Call For Aid As Migrant Crime Surges

A Texas sheriff whose county borders Mexico has issued a dire call for more assistance from other area departments as migrant surges continue to grow and threaten American citizens living in the area.
Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe sent a letter requesting aid from nearby counties as home burglaries in the middle of the night and other criminal activities increase, the Daily Wire reports.
He thanked the sheriffs of Galveston and Goliath counties for the assistance already provided but said that his county’s resources are at a “breaking point.”
“The safety and security of our county has been constantly under threat since early 2021 by those who have no desire to seek asylum through lawful means,” Coe wrote. “Our homes are being broken into in the middle of the night. The local school district has been forced to erect military barricades around campus to protect students from smugglers evading law enforcement. Walking outside on our own property after dark is no longer safe.”
“The residents of Kinney County no longer enjoy the comfort and safety of their own home. Words cannot adequately describe the conditions on the ground and the daily threats we have been forced to contend with,” he continued.
The sheriff says his deputies are patrolling roads and ranches and the department has a “brush team” that works to intercept and arrest illegal aliens trespassing on private property.
“Under normal circumstances, our county would not support a large or robust law enforcement presence. However, these are extraordinary times,” Coe said.
“By sending this letter, I am requesting any aide that your county may be able to provide in this border crisis, whether it be manpower, equipment, or operators. This crisis has made all counties a border county. It is imperative that we stand ready here at the border in order to protect and serve the people of our great state,” the sheriff concluded.

The Daily Wire noted further:
In April 2021, Kinney County Judge Tully Shahan issued a disaster declaration over the illegal immigration crisis that had been growing for months. Over a year later in July 2022, Shahan stood beside officials from Goliad, Uvalde, and Terrell counties to declare the surge in illegal immigration an “invasion.”
“We’re being invaded. The facts are there,” Shahan said at a press conference in Brackettville, Texas. “This is real. We want America to know this is real. America doesn’t know what’s happening here.”
The Biden administration does know what is happening, but has thus far chosen not to respond in a manner that would better protect the integrity of our international boundaries as well as the property and lives of our citizens — like Joe Biden pledged to do when he took the oath of office.
