The Texas Department of Public Safety recently arrested 57 illegal aliens for criminal trespass in the Normandy area of Maverick County.
According to DPS spokesman Chris Olivarez, the arrests took place during a 24-hour window between May 21 and May 22.
Members of the group consisted of 42 males and 15 females in total. They originated from Cuba, Columbia, Peru, Honduras, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua and were all subsequently transported and incarcerated at the Val Verde Processing Center. They are reportedly facing criminal trespass charges.
This comes as illegal border crossings in Maverick County have increased, and DPS continues to apprehend small groups of illegal aliens.
