Texas mounted patrol caught on camera capturing illegal immigrant hiding in ranch brush near southern border

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently shared video footage of its Border Mounted Patrol Unit (BMPU) capturing a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico last weekend on a private ranch in Kinney County, Texas.

Adan Delgado-Ortega, 52, was arrested and turned over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), according to DPS.

While working “Operation Lone Star” just after 9 a.m. local time Sunday, DPS’ mounted unit, along with a K-9 and its handler, responded to a camera activation by a man on a private ranch.
