quote:

A Texas National Guard soldier, deployed in support of the state’s mission at the border with Mexico, faces human smuggling charges after leading police on a high-speed car chase, state law enforcement officials said. Army Spc. Savion Johnson faces charges of evading arrest, smuggling of persons and unlawful carry of a weapon after his March 31 arrest in Brackettville, Texas, the state’s Department of Public Safety said Friday. The evading arrest and smuggling charges are felonies in Texas. Johnson, 26, is accused of turning his vehicle around near a Border Patrol checkpoint and initiating a high-speed car chase with state police. He stopped briefly during the chase to let a young Hispanic man out his vehicle


quote:

Johnson appears to have been working as a photographer for the Texas Army National Guard. Several photos showing Guard troops supporting Operation Lone Star last year are credited “Texas National Guard photo by Spc. Savion Johnson” on the Pentagon’s Defense Visual Information Distribution Service.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, issued a statement accusing Johnson of being “a traitor and criminal” if the allegations against him are proven true.

Meanwhile, the cartels and NGO's like Catholic Charities get a pass.

What’s the difference between this guy and what’s being allowed by Biden?

Your honor, all I did was turn my car around. They initiated the high speed chase.


Not guilty.
