A mob of over 300 illegal aliens assaulted National Guard soldiers and stormed their way into Texas last month. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told us “everyone was apprehended by the Border Patrol agents.” Sure. But then nearly all of them were released. Perhaps the Department of Homeland Security held on to a few scapegoats to charge with assault to mitigate the public relations disaster of Americans watching their country mocked daily on national media.
