A sheriff in Texas has reportedly taken matters into his own hands and driven illegals back into Mexico due to lack of resources to deal with them.
It appears there were four illegals who wrecked after being pursued by deputies for smuggling. The Kinney County Sheriff called the Border Patrol to come get the four illegals and take them to the hospital. But the Border Patrol refused because they were not cleared by the ER Department to do so.
The Kinney County Sheriff didn’t have enough deputies to take the illegals to the hospital and stay with them, so they loaded them up in their vehicle and drove them back to Mexico. And the Sheriff said they’ll continue to do this because of a lack of resources.

The Sheriff says BP Agents wouldn’t take them because they were not cleared by the ER department but KCSO couldn’t take them to the ER because they didn’t have enough deputies to stay with the migrants while they were being checked out… pic.twitter.com/IfInNIVDlw

The sheriff says two of his deputies loaded them up and brought them back across the Eagle Pass point of entry. “If it came to the point where I have to put them in my truck and take them over there I will…” He did & says he will continue to do it because of a lack of resources.
