Individuals purportedly orchestrating the illegal immigrant border riot near El Paso on the southern border have been identified as “cooperating migrants” before their release into the United States.

An illegal immigrant currently in custody following the stampede at the border furnished the details, saying it is alleged that Venezuelan national Gabriel Enrique Angarita Carrasquero and Juan Jose Colorado Gutierrez played pivotal roles as instigators of the March riot.

Eyewitness reports cited by the New York Post say Carrasquero allegedly employed a rope to forcefully dismantle a gate, enabling a surge of migrants to evade the National Guard and enter the United States.

Gutierrez was purported to have utilized wire cutters or bolt cutters to sever barbed wire along the US side of the southern border.

Both individuals were notably released by Border Patrol due to capacity constraints in detention facilities. However, they have subsequently been charged with felony offenses for their purported involvement in the incident, which reportedly led to injuries sustained by National Guard troops.

The “ringleaders” behind the riot were identified by a “cooperating migrant” prior to their release into the US.

Gutierrez was apprehended by the Texas Department of Public Safety on Tuesday. He currently faces charges including aggravated assault on a police officer, rioting, and criminal mischief.

Authorities are actively pursuing efforts to locate and detain Carrasquero, who, according to prior statements made to officials, was believed to be heading towards Phoenix, Arizona.

Federal agents have voiced bewilderment regarding Carrasquero's release, The Post highlights, particularly given that he lacked an asylum claim or expressed “fear of persecution or harm if he is returned to Venezuela.”

Around 100 of the immigrants involved in the riot were handled by Border Patrol under Title 8 procedures before being released into the United States—a process often colloquially known as “catch and release.”

Commentators have weighed in over the past week on the U.S.'s response to the border riot.

Jennie Taer, a reporter with The Post, spoke with Fox News on Friday about the release of the attackers.

“Many of these people did get processed by Border Patrol under Title 8, which is what is typically used for what we know as catch and release. These are people that are mainly released into the country,” she said.

“So this sends the message to people around the world that even if you act like this, you can probably get into the country. And I think they continue to push these boundaries and to see what they can get away with,” Taer continued. “And here they got away with some really, really scary stuff and, you know, assaulting, appeared to be assaulting some of the National Guardsmen. It was totally out of control.”

An El Paso magistrate judge took action on Easter Sunday ordering the release of migrants implicated in a riot.

Presiding Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta delivered his ruling on Sunday, March 31, during a virtual bond hearing, criticizing the El Paso District Attorney’s Office for its perceived lack of preparedness in proceeding with detention hearings for each defendant. Another hearing for additional defendants is anticipated on Monday.
