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

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.

Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now. It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations. The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that. Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets. It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat. They also cost much less than manned fighters.
