Texas law enforcement arrested a Florida truck driver after he led troopers on a chaotic chase, ran for miles on the wrong side of the highway, and was later found to have 12 illegal immigrants in his truck.

Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers chased Florida truck driver Eduardo Aradas after he refused to stop for a traffic violation.

During the chase, Texas DPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez said in a tweet that the driver was reaching speeds of up to 85 mph and was driving several miles on the wrong side of Interstate 35.

Texas DPS has deployed significant resources along the southern border under Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, which was launched in 2021 in response to the ongoing migrant crisis.

The arrest of Aradas is an example of the ongoing smuggling operations at the border.

While the number of migrants has fallen since its peak just before the end of Title 42 in May, officials have warned they don’t think it will continue.

Still, Border Patrol and Texas law enforcement remain vigilant along the border as people smuggling and illegal importation of contraband continue.
