text: The Quemado/Normandy area have been hit hard with thousands of IA’s crossing into this small rural community in just the last few days. Read the article from Breitbart here: https://www.breitbart.com/border/2022/04/17/exclusive-photos-migrant-flow-continues-on-holy-saturday-in-west-texas-border-town/This is an account by a local resident, who wishes to remain anonymous for safety reasons, of the tense situation that they were caught in the middle of late last night: “Around 10:30 pm, Sat 16th, we passed several small groups of men and a few family units walking along HWY 277. As we drove closer to the Quemado/Normandy lines on HWY 277 & 1664 there were well over 200, mostly men attempting to block the highway. We watched as many were jumping into the back of trucks and swarming cars driving by trying to get inside the vehicles. BP agents created a makeshift checkpoint in attempts to stop and ID passing cars. Only witnessed 3 BP agents present attempting to handle the situation, no DPS anywhere in sight. While waiting in line at the makeshift check point heard several loud pops as agents were attempting to stop the swarm on the vehicles. Sounded like gun fire but we weren’t able to confirm. Whole situation was intense and chaotic. Once we were able to get to an agent at the front of the makeshift check point, we informed him we witnessed several people jump into the bed of the truck behind us.”To put this into perspective the entire population of the city of Quemado is about 230. #SecureTheBorder #ActiveInvasion Office of the Governor Greg AbbottKen Paxton Declare this as the invasion it is and stop this at the river! ~Sheena Rodriguez, Secure The Border
