El Paso Sector Border Patrol officials report a trend where adult migrants attempt to pass themselves off as unaccompanied minors. The agents uncovered 23 such attempts so far this fiscal year.
El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez tweeted a report revealing an encounter with a male Guatemalan migrant. Chavez said the adult migrant attempted to pass himself off as a 17-year-old boy, presumably to take advantage of Biden Administration policies for unaccompanied minors.
The chief reported that agents in this sector uncovered 23 such fraudulent immigration attempts since the beginning of Fiscal Year ’22, which began on October 1, 2021.
Elsewhere in the El Paso Sector, a private citizen reported seeing a group of people being loaded into the rear of a tractor-trailer. El Paso Station agents responded to the area and located the rig. After stopping the suspected human smuggling vehicle, agents opened the rear of the trailer and found 16 migrants locked inside. Agents reported one of the migrants as a minor.
