Border Patrol officials say they were supporting a Transportation Security Administration operation when Border Patrol agents detained 21 people at the Old Town Trolley Station.

Rios said agents with the Transportation Security Administration and the Border Patrol questioned a 16-year-old girl and two boys, ages 15 and 17, about their residency status at the trolley station before taking them into custody and sending them to Mexico later that day.
Morales, the Border Patrol agent, said the Border Patrol assisted the TSA in a standard operation.
Bart, it seems you have it wrong. The Border Patrol (LE) was supporting a TSA (non-LE) operation.

Bart, what business is it of the TSA if a person getting on a trolley is an illegal or not?
