Greg Abbott: “More than 20 arrests were made, many of whom were suspected…”

“In the last few months, DPS special agents worked with the El Paso Police Department gang units to arrest criminal activity at and around El Paso's Gateway hotel. More than 20 arrests were made, many of whom were suspected [TDA] members for charges that include human smuggling, prostitution, possession of illegal drugs, as well as other crimes. And now the Gateway Hotel in El Paso has been shut down. And earlier this year, more than 100 suspected TDA members were arrested after the riots at the El Paso border when immigrants assaulted the Texas National Guard.” (07:46–08:03)
