There are over 50,000 people in the United States right now who have committed crimes, either in their home country or in the United States — or both. But a couple of recent captures by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) reveal that there are likely much more dangerous people entering the country
Texas Department of Public Safety troopers continue to arrest single military age men in Texas border counties, including Special Interest Aliens from Afghanistan and Iran. They are also continuing to rescue children being smuggled across the border from Mexico.
Large groups of illegal border crossers continue to be apprehended in Maverick County. On Dec. 1, troopers encountered a group of 176 illegal border crossers, including single adults, family groups, and unaccompanied children. Among them, troopers arrested 85 for criminal trespass, including 11 SIAs from Afghanistan. Other single adults arrested were citizens of El Salvador, Ecuador, Cuba, Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela, DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez said.
Just after Thanksgiving, troopers also apprehended a group of 289 in Maverick County. Among them were 7 SIAs from Iran. All were turned over to Border Patrol, he said.

Texas DPS has been sounding the alarm about an increased number of arrests of SIAs, The Center Square has reported. Recent arrests are primarily of men from countries of foreign concern, including Iran, a U.S. State Department designated State Sponsor of Terrorism.
