8 Syrian Captured on US-Mexico Border

Listen to this article

The Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted on 19^th November 2015 that at least eight Syrian people have been arrested on the southern border in the United States. The real estate power also implied that these Syrian people assumed to be linked with ISIS and the event was an evidence that the United States is planning to build a wall on its border. The Governor of Texas Greg Abbott also posted a relevant message with a link of an article of a website Breitbart. This article also confirmed that eight Syrian people arrested on the border of Texas in Laredo.

Two U.S federal agents in the U.S Customs and Border Protection also declared that eight Syrian people attempted to enter illegally in Texas from Mexico at the Laredo border. These people are assumed to be the followers of ISIS organization. But we found that the entire above story is false and the U.S Customs and Border Protection didn’t arrest eight people at Texas border. The Department of Homeland Security informed that only two Syrian families or two Syrian couples and four children were bestowed themselves to the concerning authorities at the entry point in Laredo. They were transferred to CBP and ICE for more investigation. But two women and four children were shifted to the Family Residential Center in Dilley, South Texas. We could not find more information regarding this issue because of their privacy policy. Originally, these two families were not trying to enter illegally in the United States, they surrendered to the U.S authorities but they were not caught by any authority or agency.
