An illegal alien on the run was sniffed out by a police dog after he tried to hide under an overturned boat in Texas.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) just released body camera footage showing K-9 Eki tracking a pair of illegals in the Rio Grande Valley on Tuesday.
Eki pursued one of the illegals, an adult male, for more than a mile in Hidalgo County.
The man attempted to conceal himself under a jon boat inside a grassy junkyard, but Eki led TxDPS troopers directly to his location.
The illegal alien was forced to emerge from his hiding place and was taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol agents.
“This apprehension highlights the critical role our DPS tracking canines and handlers play in supporting our federal partners as part of Operation Lone Star 2.0,” stated TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez.
Illegal border crossings have plunged to historic lows under the Trump administration.
