Texas authorities arrested migrants at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, late Wednesday evening and charged them with criminal trespassing, marking the first arrests of migrants since the state took control of the area at the US-Mexico border last week, an official said. The arrests were announced by Lt. Chris Olivarez at the Texas Department of Public Safety on social media. Single adult migrant men and women were taken into state custody, while migrant families and children were transferred to US Border Patrol, Olivarez said. Migrants arrested for criminal trespassing first face the state charge before they are transferred to US Border Patrol officials, Olivarez said. The arrests took place at Shelby Park and private lands where the landowner granted the state authority to make arrests, Olivarez explained.
