Texas Department of Public Safety officers working through Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security mission, Operation Lone Star, continue to apprehend “Special Interest Aliens” and unaccompanied minors illegally entering Texas from Mexico between ports of entry.

In one recently apprehended group, a two-year-old girl from El Salvador tells a trooper her age and that she arrived alone. He asks her in Spanish, “Are you by yourself?” She nods.

When asked how old she was, she held up two fingers. When asked, “Did you come with your parents?” she shook her head.

When asked where she was going, she replied, “With my mom and dad.” When asked, “Where are they?” she replied, “In the United States.”

She was holding a small piece of paper with a phone number and name on it.
