"Texas has transported over 6,800 migrants to our nation's capital since April and over 360 migrants to New York City since last Friday. The busing mission is providing much-needed relief to our overwhelmed border communities."

One of the men detained was a scout for a complex network of criminals who smuggle illegal immigrants and illicit controlled substances into the nation.
