In a coordinated joint operation, agents from the El Paso Sector assisted in shutting down a cartel stash house in Horizon City, TX. Criminal organizations use stash houses to temporarily conceal illegal aliens or contraband until their “cargo” can be transported further into the U.S. Working alongside our law enforcement partners, we will continue to target these uninhabitable cesspools.

Steel wall panels going up send a clear message: stronger barriers mean stronger security. Each new section locks down vulnerabilities, disrupts cartel activity, and enables USBP to arrest, prosecute, and deport those who break the law. The border is closed—no exceptions.

As we approach the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks, we honor the innocent lives that were lost, the brave first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless families whose lives were changed forever. September 11 redefined our nation and reshaped how we protect the homeland. In the years that followed, the U.S. Border Patrol evolved. Through advanced technology, critical infrastructure, expanded information sharing, and strong interagency partnerships, our layered approach to border security remains one of our strongest defenses. As we reflect on that solemn day, we remember why vigilance matters. CBP

Despite desperate smuggling tactics like these, the reality is that the border is closed. Smugglers are selling false promises and transportation services that only lead to arrest, prosecution, and deportation. El Paso Sector Border Patrol
