Three illegal aliens thought they could slip into the U.S. undetected. WRONG. All eyes were already on them. Agents in the El Paso Sector relentlessly tracked the group for several hours before making the arrest. Their persistence paid off: among the group was a Mexican national linked to the Los Paisas gang, who had previously been arrested for alien smuggling and burglary, and sentenced to 46 months for illegal reentry. Cross illegally, expect USBP on the front line. El Paso Sector Border Patrol

USBP and CBP Air & Marine Operations (AMO) stopped two suspected smugglers in the open waters of San Diego, CA, after receiving reports from the Mexican Navy about a vessel with two individuals that failed to stop for them and the U.S. Coast Guard a few days prior. Law enforcement attempted to stop the vessel and AGAIN the individuals did not comply. However, undeterred, and very capable, CBP AMO agents successfully disabled the vessel. Both smugglers are now in custody, facing charges for failure to heave (18USC2237) and inadmissible alien (8USC1182). Even in the open ocean, the border has a line- and we will defend it.

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.

Historic results: The lowest USBP apprehensions in history and the most secure border on record. 7,180 southwest border crossings recorded in March marks a dramatic drop compared to the monthly average of 155,000 from the previous 4 years. SWB apprehensions fell to around 230/day, a number our country has never seen before. Previous administration’s average encounters were 5,100/day. #BorderSecurity
