But first, were going to go live to texas where fox is. Griff jenkins is standing by. Griff, what can you tell us tonight . Hey, laura , good evening. I can tell you there is a sigh of relief in a lot of Pride Running through Border Patrol agents from coast to coast because oropesa was brought into custody by Bortac Agents. They are the elite units of. The Border Patrol. Theyre a unit hav based out ofl paso, but they have agents all over the place. Weector, i in the rgv sector, In Brownsville, about five hours soute clh of where cleveland, texas, where the murders happened and they werencerne concerned that oropesa initially was trying to get back to mexico. Obviously, having been deported some four or five times, being mexican nationals illegally present in the u. S. But what woe know about how it went down,n th im getting some details and well find out at the press conference. But what my sources are tellingl me is that about tim 615 local a in texas, they got a tip abouttm a residence in conroe, texas. Evl you mentioned abouand t twenty five miles west of cleveland where the murders happened. Bylocal, 630 local, they arrived at the residence, were given consent to search the residenceu ,which obviously is in this video that youve seen here. And about five minutes later, they exited the residence with oropesa in custody without incident. In the bortac. Agents then turned oropesa over to u. S. Marshals and soon he will face trial and be behind bars, hopefully for a very long time. But tonight there is a lot of pride as a Border Patrol agents here behind me are working around the clock to tryt of and stop the migrant surge, which appears to be ground zero here In Brownsville with all these migrants coming across Twenty Five Hundred plus a day in the area where i am there, really proudy prou. And theyre really happy thatda. It was their guys that weree yod if you remember, able to save the day. And i should just give you a little bit of background. If you remember, back to the uvalde Horrific School shooting that was Bortac Agents that breached that building and went in and saved the day , going even farther back to a case i covered in Upstate New York ,n the dannemora prison break. Those two fugitives who were on the run break. Save it was a bortac agent that saved the day in a shooting up there on the new york canada border. And so this is a verreasony spel unit. Rd t and there is reason why Border Patrol agents are very proud bit more about how they were i look forward to hearing o zea little bit more exactly ao how they thi were able to zero n on this residence. But it appears initially frotipt my sources, it was a tip. Ge they went straight to that house and they did it without anyone getting harmed, no shots fired and thankfully, no one being shot.

Iams were going to go to our ownt pr ind williams, who you just heard asking questions at that presser in a moment. O brinbut first, i want to brinn steven miller, America First legal founder, former Senior Adviser to President Trump, thd ted ryan , ceo of american majority, and charlie hurt,im opinion editor ofd fo the Washington Times and fox news. Contributor. Stephen , what does it tell h you that this killer really, he comm didnt feel the need to get more than twenty five miles fromers. Where he committed theg murders . He was found in n a relatives C House Hiding in some Clotheslot Arguess theyre used to getting away with a loe t of stuff. Are they not . Yes, thats exactly what it tells you , laura , in this unspeakable tragedy that just breaks our hearts and tearsn amr our souls and turns our stomachs. S usedjustsyst to anem american. Justice system that had zero consequences. What a lot of people dont know, laura , is that illegalyoa reentry into this countrn y is a felony. You can go to jail forime, years. So every single time during he cobama administration that he was encounter entering illegally, he could have been thrown in the slammer for ove years. You add them all up. He could have served over a decade in prison, which wouldt have kept him from being free to commit this crime in the first place or would have doordaring to come back into the country. H so wheadn you have an open revolving door, as weve had at our border, when you suspend criminalcted justice consequenc, then you invite the kind of Unthink Unfathomable tragedy, ee just absolute horror that we have seen in texas. And we have to understand thatg the open border we have today is letting in thousands mmit crimore individuals who arg to commit crimes, who are going to commit heinous offenses and are going to leave a trailus of blood and suffering that is completely preventable. We must act. Ned, we we must do something. To rem and i know we have to remembersm that biden and his team prior and everything, they do seem to prioritize noncitizens over citizens like whats whats best for the country versusl whats best for his radical constituency. And he more than doubled the number of would be immigrants eligible for
