The arrest is just the latest incident that highlights how the continuing crisis at the southern border has an impact on states like Alabama. Earlier this week, the House Judiciary Committee released a report about a brutal illegal immigrant crime story in Prattville. The Committee blamed the Biden-Harris administration for failing to prevent criminal aliens from entering the U.S.
The Argo Police Department is working with several local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies who are currently investigating the case.
