"Texas will continue to take unprecedented action to protect Texans – and our state – from President Biden’s border crisis.”
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – “When President Joe Biden took office, he dismantled every effective border policy his predecessor put into place,” said Governor Greg Abbott, announcing the launch of Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List. “As a result, we have seen record high levels of illegal immigration, including dangerous criminals and terrorists who are a threat to the public safety of our state and our nation.
"These illegal immigrants will now be spotlighted on our 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List,"said Abbott.
Created in partnership with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) – and funded by the Governor’s Public Safety Office – this list is a new initiative to locate and arrest repeat offenders who have entered the country illegally, and are wanted for dangerous crimes committed in Texas.
Texas Crime Stoppers will offer cash rewards to any person who provides information that leads to the arrest of one of Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants.
“Criminals from around the world who enter the United States illegally and commit crimes in Texas are a threat to public safety,” said DPS Director Steve McCraw.
“Individuals on Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List are likely to commit other crimes, and DPS is enlisting the public’s help in apprehending these offenders before they commit additional crimes.

DPS Special Agents will work with local and federal law enforcement agencies to apprehend all of the criminal illegal immigrant fugitives who have been identified and to select the fugitives that will appear on the Texas 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List.
"Texas is a law-and-order state, and with the help of our fellow Texans, we will ensure that the illegal immigrants on this list are taken off our streets and put behind bars to keep our communities safe," said Governor Abbott.
You can find the current lists with photos on the DPS website.
