INVADER NEWS: Accused Ringleader of Texas Border Riot Finally Nabbed — After 7 Months On Lam; ICE Freed 124 Migrants Who Violently Stormed El Paso Border Riot, Saying They’re Not Security Threats
Accused ringleader of Texas border riot finally nabbed — after 7 months on lam:
A suspected ringleader of the March border riot in Texas where a mob of hundreds of migrants bum-rushed the wall has finally been nabbed after seven months on the run, The Post has learned.
Venezuelan migrant Gabriel Enrique Angarita Carrasquero, 22, was wanted by the state of Texas for allegedly rioting and assaulting a soldier during the melee in El Paso.
He was initially nabbed in the violence, which was exclusively caught on camera by The Post.
But the feds released him before state authorities could arrest him because border agents failed to review footage of the riot to identify Carrasquero’s involvement.
Carrasquero allegedly helped orchestrate the border riot, where 211 migrants busted through a wire fence and took down the national guardsmen who were trying to control the group as they dashed to the border wall.
One of the rioters was seen stomping the knee of a soldier during the violence, sources previously told The Post.
At first, Carrasquero was believed to be in Arizona, where he told Border Patrol agents he was heading upon his release.
Instead, he was found in Des Moines, Iowa, in October and arrested by state police there during a traffic stop. He is currently in state custody in El Paso, Texas.
The Iowa State Patrol told The Post its troopers took Carrasquero into custody after pulling him over for a “traffic violation,” during which they “discovered he had a valid warrant out of Texas.”
As part of the Texas riot case against Carrasquero, Border Patrol agents had spoken to a “cooperating migrant” who identified Carrasquero as an “instigator” among the group who stormed the fence, according to internal documents previously seen by The Post. —>READ MORE HERE
ICE freed 124 migrants who violently stormed El Paso border riot, saying they’re not security threats:
More than 100 migrants who rioted at the southern border in March — injuring guards in the process — have now been freed into the country because they weren’t deemed a serious enough security threat, The Post has learned.
Of the 211 migrants who broke through razor wire and rushed toward the border wall in March in El Paso, Texas, 124 have been cut loose by Immigration Customs and Enforcement under a Biden administration policy that directs the agency to prioritize their enforcement and detention capacity for those deemed public safety, national security and border security risks.
A Texas National Guard source told The Post that the decision to release the rioters is a slap in the face to the soldiers who are still reeling from the injuries they sustained in the wild, caught-on-camera melee.
“It goes a long way to show where our officials’ loyalties lie,” the source said. “We have soldiers who are still recovering from injuries to this day and our officials have shielded their attackers from any consequence.
“This type of precedent-setting will only serve to encourage more aggression and violence from the migrants because they have been shown that they can absolutely get away with it.”
During the March 21 border bum rush captured in viral video by The Post, 211 migrants broke through razor wire and rushed toward the US border wall, taking down the national guardsmen who were attempting to push the group back to Mexico. —>READ MORE HERE
