A migrant with bolt cutters snipped a wire border fence Sunday, then led dozens of migrants through the hole — only to be turned back to Mexico by National Guard troops.
The Post observed as the migrants pulled fencing away and pushed through the state’s concertina-wire barrier near a gate in the wall, entering the US illegally, near El Paso, Texas.
Footage of the incident taken by The Post showed guardsmen appearing and blocking the migrants, and directing them away from Gate 45, which is not a legal port of entry, and back to Mexican territory.
The incident comes days after another encounter a few miles away at Gate 36 in the border — where more than 100 people bum-rushed Texas National Guard soldiers last Thursday.
Texas National Guard troops push back migrants who’ve crossed into the US from Mexico.James Breeden for NY Post
Razor wire and fencing have been erected near the border by troops from the National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety to discourage people from crossing into the US illegally and to instead turn themselves in at points of entry.
During Thursday’s attempted incursion, the group of migrants knocked over five guards who tried to stand in their way.
Following that incursion, Texas authorities arrested Honduran national Junior Evaristo-Benitez, 21, and charged him with assault on a public servant, a third-degree felony, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Eliot Torres said in a statement shared with The Post. Evaristo-Benitez is being held in the El Paso County Jail.

These are the ones Texas is catching and does not include the "gotaways." The Biden administration has not enforced the US border with Mexico.
Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh · 1h NOW: JD Vance absolutely decimates Gov. JB Pritzker "Governor Pritzker will talk a lot about how bad Donald Trump is, about how bad I am, and about how bad the administration is. He is the governor of a state that where its biggest city has murder rates that rival the most violent places in the THIRD WORLD!" "WHY is he so mad at Donald Trump for trying to keep Chicagoans safe? He should be mad at the CRIMINALS that he has failed to keep at bay. We're trying to help him, and we're trying to help the residents of his biggest city." "I wish that he would let us, because he certainly isn't doing the job himself!" Chicago could be so much better if it had more responsible leadership. Democrats in Illinois don't appear up to the job.
Washington Examiner: TRUMP IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS STILL STRUGGLING WITH BIDEN’S LEGACY. Trump administration immigration authorities not only have to contend with violent attacks, rioters, angry activists, and others trying to obstruct enforcement of federal immigration law. They also have to deal with the obstacles former President Joe Biden left in their path. You’ve seen videos of resistance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents doing their jobs. Just yesterday, the Democratic mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, declared the city an “ ICE-free zone .” Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), Johnson’s ally in the fight against enforcing federal immigration law, referred to federal immigration agents as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s “thugs.” ... Biden opened the borders to illegals, and it looks like Democrat controlled cities want to do the same thing. I suspect the Democrats want the illegals becasue not enough American citizens are willing to support Democrat candi...
Conservative Tree House: ... From a risk management perspective, initially the surveillance and spying operation was a low-risk endeavor. Obama held power and was going to hand off operations to Hillary. The Clinton administration would retain the officials who were doing the surveillance/spying, and no one would ever know. Donald Trump was not expected to win the election. When he did, all of the participants were suddenly at risk. President Obama and every member of his cabinet involved in the spying operations, then used Clinton’s “Russiagate” smear to cover up Obama’s “Spygate” activity. The IRS was used to identify targets 2010 through 2012, until discovered in April ’12. Suddenly, President Obama has a problem. President Obama then sends his Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, to run the IRS and block discoveries around the IRS weaponization. From 2012 through April 2016, the Obama administration was spying on their political opposition using the FBI to conduct surveillance through...
