WASHINGTON, DC -On Monday, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) demanded answers from the San Antonio Police Department on an illegal alien recently charged with shooting at three San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) officers in Texas' 21st congressional district.
On July 28, 2024, three SAPD officers responded to a domestic violence call. The suspect was found lying in bed with a rifle by his side - he opened fire on the responding officers, striking one of them multiple times, resulting in one fatality and one officer injured.
Representative Roywrote in a letter, "My constituents have routinely expressed concerns - exacerbated by the recent shooting in the district I represent - regarding the impacts of the illegal alien population in San Antonio's impact on their safety."
Additionally, Representative Roy requested data on the calls placed to SAPD asking for officers to be dispatched to San Antonio's "Migrant Resource Center" (MRC) and the surrounding area to handle illegal alien-related calls for service, including reported crimes.
Since January 2021, at least 626,232 illegal aliens have arrived in San Antonio, most of whom have originated from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Honduras, and Haiti.1 From July 7, 2022, when the MRC first opened, to the present, it has provided shelter to at least 345,907 foreign nationals.
