A sheriff on the Texas frontier warns illegal crossings are on the rise amid concerns about a post-election border blitz.
Terrell County Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland posted a photo of three Mexican illegals his deputies apprehended on Wednesday night.
“We’ve seen an uptick of activity and more groups are staging south along the river,” he wrote on X.
