HOUSTON, Texas (KXXV) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's Criminal Investigation Division recently detained 50 undocumented immigrants during operations in the Houston metropolitan area and turned them over to federal authorities for deportation proceedings, according to a Jan. 7 press release.
"Texas has been invaded by foreign illegals who rob Americans of their safety and opportunity. Under the corrupt Biden Administration, tens of millions of aliens flooded our country and brought disaster, disease, and crime. Alongside the Trump Administration, my office helps round up these criminals and send them back to where they came from. My message to the illegal aliens who've invaded our country and are now detained is simple: Adios!"
The Texas Office of the Attorney General's Criminal Investigation Division conducted raids throughout the greater Houston area at locations and businesses known to promote or be connected with criminal activity. These operations led to the detention of 50 undocumented immigrants, who were then turned over to the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Paxton became the first Texas law enforcement entity during President Donald Trump's second term to sign a 287(g) agreement, which enabled the Office of the Attorney General to formally assist with and facilitate the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.
The OAG said it continues to work with local and federal law enforcement agencies to hunt down, detain, and deport undocumented immigrants in order to make America safe again.
