An exclusive video captured by former Daily Caller News Foundation reporter and current New York Post journalist Jennie Taer, which was shared on Twitter on Monday, depicts a migrant using bolt cutters to snip razor wire at the El Paso, Texas border. This allowed numerous other migrants to pass through. The footage shows a man in a red sweater creating a small hole while a group of migrants waits behind him.
Subsequently, the video shows migrants squeezing through the opening and rushing towards the border wall. In a separate video segment, National Guard troops arrive and prevent the remaining individuals from entering. As per reports, officials instructed the remaining migrants to steer clear of the unauthorized entry point at Gate 45 and return to Mexican territory, as reported by the NY Post.
