Borderwatch recounts
Raj on the border.
So circus producer James Plunkett was hired for the photo shoot and provided three elephants. [Raj] Bhakta said, "the elephant never made landfall into Mexico, but I tell you something, he could have made 15 laps back and forth, but no one showed up."
Plunkett said his crew entered the Boca Chica beach area in Texas and remained for about an hour. The Border Patrol finally showed up & alerted the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the elephants were detained and sprayed for ticks then released.
It was not reported whether they were looking for American ticks or undocumented ticks.
