Kinney County Sheriff Issues Clarification

Walking back quotes that DPS Threatened to Remove Support

Please see the following release, issued this afternoon by Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe:

The nationally published article that the Sheriff is referring to can be seen here: https://www.theepochtimes.com/border-sheriff-says-state-threatened-to-pull-resources-if-he-didnt-stop-militia_4072144.html?utm_source=share-btn-copylink

I should point out, my role in drafting the Sheriff’s news release and the fact that the Kinney County Sheriff’s Office is paying me a small salary as an administrative assistant dealing with public information.

I do believe that the Sheriff holds Ms. Cuthbertson in very high esteem, and I don’t think he would object to someone pointing out that in general she’s probably been doing the best job of covering the issues up and down the border and in Kinney County during this current crisis. If you aren’t following her on twitter, or bookmarking her section at the Epoch Times, you’re missing out.

Questions on Facebook about this release have included inquiries about what does DPS have to do with anything anyway? Well, if a land owner wanted to press formal charges on a trespassing group of illegal aliens, they would have to call DPS or Sheriff’s Deputies. They might also try calling Border Patrol to come pick them up for processing and probable eventual release into the United States.

In the absence of those options, one imagines a land owner would have to release the group of aliens to continue traveling, and worry that the Coyote leading them won’t return on subsequent trips and cause malicious damages to their property as some form of revenge.

Currently the only large group of illegal aliens caravanning North through Mexico are still in the area of Chiapas, in Southern Mexico. They still have a long way to walk before reaching Mexico City, where they’ll eventually hit a crossroads that will lead them to the Rio Grande Valley, or the Del Rio area. It seems that while journalists remain embedded with the caravan, they will avoid hiring tour buses to expedite their travel.
