FBI arrests man allegedly planning to shoot, kill migrants in Eagle Pass, Texas | San Antonio
The FBI arrested Tennessee native Paul Faye on illegal weapons charges after he expressed his intention to shoot migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Faye’s arrest followed warnings from Texas Democrats and extremism experts that Governor Greg Abbott’s likening of border crossings to an “invasion” could incite violence. Faye, who is charged with possession of unregistered firearm or silencer, had announced plans to travel to Eagle Pass, Texas, with militia members to carry out his attack. The arrest highlights concerns over anti-immigrant sentiment and the potential for violence, particularly following a “Take Our Border Back” rally in Eagle Pass that drew far-right protesters.
