Texas authorities said they discovered that the Biden administration has been secretly shipping COVID-positive illegal immigrants throughout the state without notifying local officials.
The La Joya Police Department said a patrol officer was notified about a group of migrants that appeared to be sick at a local fast food restaurant.
When the officer approached the group, they were coughing and sneezing.
The manager of the restaurant asked the officer to escort the group out since they were making the other customers “uneasy.”
The officer discovered shortly thereafter that the migrants had been apprehended by Border Patrol agents several days prior, and had tested positive for the coronavirus, before being released into La Joya.
“We did not know this,” La Joya police Sgt. Manuel Casas said during a press conference this week, according to Fox News. “No one told the city of La Joya. No one told the police department that these people were here and no one told us that these people were possibly ill.”
Local officials across the country are experiencing a similar influx of illegal immigrants as the Biden administration ships hundreds of asylum seekers out of overwhelmed border towns and into middle America.
One such border town, McAllen, Texas, said its bus station has added six new daily routes to accommodate the flow of illegal immigrants.
“We don’t have enough private bus seats to get everyone out,” said City Manager Roy Rodriguez.
Another report from Tennessee found that Chattanooga’s Wilson Air Center has been receiving planes carrying migrant children, who are then being bused to multiple cities in the area, at late hours.
A source with direct knowledge of the operation told a local news station that approximately 30 to 50 minors are transported at a time.
The operation began in Dallas, Texas but was intentionally moved to smaller airports to avoid attention, he added.
