At one point, the Texas forces intervene and push the migrants back.
"Back the f*** up, get the f*** off of here, back the f*** up," the soldier yells at them. "Get the hell out of here."
At one point, the rattle of a taser can be heard, but the location is unclear. The migrants can be heard yelling at the guards in response.
The video comes as part of an ongoing situation along the border where Texas, as part of Operation Lone Star, has set up razor wire and other barriers along the border in an effort to curb the historic amounts of illegal migration that have hit it since 2021.

CBP increased patrols in the area after the incident on March 21 and stressed that those involved face removal.
"There are consequences to crossing the border illegally, and CBP continues to enforce United States immigration laws. Individuals and families without a legal basis to remain in the U.S. are subject to removal and are subject to a minimum five-year bar on reapplying for admission and potential criminal prosecution if they subsequently re-enter without authorization. No one should believe the lies of smugglers; individuals and families without a legal basis to remain in the United States will be removed," they said.
