Texas Department of Public Safety troopers using a K-9 team located and arrested a previously deported Mexican migrant. The Mexican nation was found trying to avoid apprehension after illegally re-entering the United States from Mexico.
Texas DPS spokesperson Lt. Chris Olivarez posted photos on social media reporting the arrest of Victor Antonio Olan De La Cruz at a ranch in Maverick County. The man was arrested with a group of illegal immigrants who were trying to evade capture by trespassing on a private ranch in Maverick County, he said.
In September 2024, the Biden administration granted Olan De La Cruz supervised release and deported him from Mexico two months later.
Olan De La Cruz then returned to the United States this month to Maverick County. Police charged the Mexican national with criminal trespass. Once Texas completes its criminal proceedings, he will likely be turned over to Trump administration officials, where he could face prosecution for illegal reentry following his deportation.
The Biden administration’s border security and immigration policies have led to significant policy changes in the 2024 general election. Many border counties voted Republican for the first time.
On January 1, Maverick County swore in its first Republican elected official. Officer Abraham Happy Martinez beat an eight-year incumbent Democrat by more than 14 points to win the job.
