This will be the next breathless outrage:
Two Syrian families turn themselves in at Texas border town

Members of two Syrian families had turned themselves in to U.S. authorities in Laredo, Texas, at the Mexican border, and were being processed by immigration officials, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Thursday.

Two men, two women and four children who “presented themselves” Tuesday at the port of entry were taken into custody by Border Patrol agents and then turned over for immigration processing, DHS said in a statement.

“Due to privacy issues, no additional information will be provided at this time,” DHS said in a statement.

Still, there was no evidence the Syrians had any connection to terrorism, U.S. government officials said on condition of anonymity.

The women and children were taken to the South Texas Family Residential Center in the city of Dilley, DHS said, while the two men were held at the South Texas Detention Center in the city of Pearsall.

There was no indication the two Syrian families were trying to sneak into the country.
