LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - A father is arrested for allegedly shooting at the direction of a group of teens who reportedly got into a fight.

Jose Alonzo Trevino Jr. is facing charges on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

On Monday night, Laredo Police received a call about a person who was injured as a result of a shooting near the 200 block of Flathead Circle.

When officers arrived, they found no one at the scene but according to eyewitnesses, shots did ring out in the area, and someone was taken to the hospital.

After further investigation, officers found that the victim was not shot but physically assaulted.

Bullet casings were found at the scene and Trevino was later arrested in connection to the crime.

According to Investigator Joe Baeza, the case began when a group of teens carried over an argument from school to the Flathead neighborhood.

Baeza said that the teens knocked on Trevino’s door and Trevino allegedly allowed his teens to participate in the fight and that is when one of the teens got injured.

“At that point, it’s alleged in the report that the dad went into the home and retrieved the weapon and discharged the firearm at teens that were there at the home, there was a vehicle that was shot out,” said Baeza.

No additional injuries were reported in connection to the shooting.

Reports say Trevino was found after he returned from Nuevo Laredo that evening.

He was taken to the Webb County Jail.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, will make his first appearance in the Rio Grande Valley and the border since Title 42 was lifted.

Abbott is expected to provide updates on state’s efforts to respond to the migrant surge that happened in South Texas.

The governor will be joined by Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw; Texas Military Department Brigadier General Matthew Barker; and Texas Border Czar Mike Banks.

The news conference will be held at the levee, now called Camp Monument, by the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley where thousands of migrants crossed into Brownsville before the ending of Title 42.

HARLINGEN, Texas (Border Report) — The sun was barely up and the children were still visibly sleepy as they were toted on board two early morning deportation flights full of families being sent to Guatemala Thursday from the South Texas border.

Two youngsters tried to escape one woman’s grasp as she was patted down and questioned by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers before the trio walked up the 17 steps and on board one of the two flights.

A total of 260 asylum-seekers were flown to Guatemala on Thursday. This included 146 children and 114 adults, ICE officials told Border Report.

All were deemed ineligible to remain in the United States under the Biden administration’s new and expanded Title 8 enforcement polices, which replace the pandemic-era Title 42 immigration policies that ended last week.

“Since we resumed Title 8 processing on Friday morning, thousands of non-citizens including over 1,000 nationals from Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua have already been returned to Mexico and to over 18 other countries under our Title 8 authorities. This includes removals of single adults and families to countries including Colombia, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Peru,” DHS Assistant Secretary Blas Nuñez-Neto said Wednesday.

On Thursday, the agency conducted “multiple” ICE Air removal flights — as they are called — to El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Israel, ICE said.

Asylum-seekers are deported through the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations department when they do not have “a lawful basis to remain in the U.S., including at the order of immigration judges,” according to ICE officials.

When Title 42 ended at 10:59 p.m. CT on May 11, border enforcement officials immediately switched to Title 8. That requires migrants not cross the U.S. border illegally, and they must utilize certain legal pathways to seek asylum. This includes applying for asylum interviews via the CBP One app for appointments at U.S. ports of entry. Or applying for interviews at regional processing centers operated by the U.S. State Department and United Nations in several Latin American and Caribbean countries. Also all, except for Mexicans, are required to have applied for asylum in other countries they crossed into before entering the United States.
