First?
Texas State Police Officers are NOT Immigration Cops….
Only Federal Immigration/Customs Cops ARE….

Troopers caught doing things that could hurt migrants could find themselves charged with Federal crimes…..

WTF would anyone follow such orders?
Emails shared with CNN by the Texas Department of Public Safety detail a trooper-medic expressing concerns to a supervisor over the inhumane treatment of migrants along the border in Eagle Pass, Texas.
The Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department are in ongoing talks about what action can be taken against Texas amid concerns over Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s months-long operation along the US southern border, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
In the email, the trooper said medics “were given orders to push the people back into the water to go to Mexico” and were also ordered not to give water to the migrants.
The email is a report of weekly events and operational concerns from June 24 to July 1 while the officer worked as a trooper-medic. The email was first reported by the Houston Chronicle on Monday.
In one seven-hour period late last month, according to the email, two medics from the state Department of Public Safety said they treated:
- A 4-year-old girl passed out in 100-degree heat after Texas (National) Guard personnel pushed the group she was in back toward Mexico
- A man with a significant laceration on his leg, suffered when he tried to rescue his child from razor wire placed on a deterrence buoy in the Rio Grande
- A 15-year-old boy with a broken leg, suffered when he tried to cross a more dangerous part of the river away from the buoys
- A 19-year-old woman trapped in the wire having a miscarriage….
