Border Highway Heavily Patrolled by State and Local Police – But Not Border Patrol
State, local police step up patrols as Border Patrol stands down

A dangerous stretch of Texas highway hugging the Mexican border is heavily patrolled by state and local police, but not by the thinly stretched Border Patrol which has been told to stand down from enforcing immigration and trafficking laws.
Near Highway 281 outside of Pharr, Texas, a surveillance tower stood high above a dirt road leading towards the Mexican border, yet it wasn’t manned by the Border Patrol but rather city police.
Only a few hundred yards away, at the intersection of the dirt road and the highway, a police officer sat in a SUV facing south and watched the traffic rolling by.
But for the westbound drivers, this officer was only the first they’d seen in a handful of minutes, as the stretch of highway to the east of Pharr was heavily patrolled by Texas state troopers, one of whom told Infowars that the area is known for kidnappings and other violent crimes.
All of these officers heavily outnumbered the Border Patrol agents seen in and around a 50 mile stretch of highway between Pharr and the border city of Brownsville, Texas on Monday, a chilling indication that state and local law enforcement agencies are likely having to step up against the tide of violence coming from the south as the Border Patrol backs off from many of its law enforcement duties.
