CBP Arrest Gang Member, 3 Child Sex Offenders And Seize Almost $10M In Drugs On Southern Border

Staff Report

Below you will find the latest information available for reported drug smuggling, human smuggling and trafficking, and illegal crossings on the Texas border and ports over the past week.

Most news outlets have reported some of the issues that are happening on our southern border. And some of these news outlets have downplayed or even lied about what is happening.

Americans and Texans have been given inconsistent information on what is occurring on the southern border.

Our border issues are complex, and they affect all Texans. 

This is our home, and to most Texans, the border isn’t a political issue or a tool to use against another political party; this is a safety and security issue for our children, families, friends, and local and national law enforcement.

As you read below, we hope the information provided will help all Texans and Americans to better understand the complexity of our current immigration laws and policies that was created by our D.C. lawmakers.

To better comprehend the issues of drug smuggling, human trafficking of children and adults, unaccompanied children, and illegal immigrant crossings that include gang members and many from terrorist countries, we need the real numbers, facts, and statistics.

The information we provide encompasses only the Texas and Mexico border.

This information has been gathered and compiled directly from information by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which is under the purview of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

As for the accuracy of the information, we can only decipher the information released to us. Therefore, the number of incidents, arrests, types of narcotics, weight, or the street value of said narcotics is considered the minimum amount.

All people apprehended by the Border Patrol undergo criminal history checks using biometrics to ensure their criminal histories are positively identified.
