El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a group of migrants attempting to sneak into Texas via dangerous storm drain tunnels.
El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Peter Jaquez tweeted photos of the apprehension of a group of migrants attempting to sneak into Texas via the city’s storm drain tunnels.
Agents from the El Paso Station’s Confined Space Entry Team discovered a group of 30 migrants in the drainage tunnels. The agents apprehended the migrants and took them to the station for processing.
Chief Jaquez did not report the nationality of the migrants.
Elsewhere in the sector, El Paso agents interdicted 21 different smuggling schemes. This led to the arrest of 28 human smugglers.
Agents found 154 migrants in these incidents. Those include people hiding in the back of pickup trucks and being locked in the trunks of sedans.
Santa Teresa Station agents in New Mexico also apprehended a group of 19 migrants packed inside a mobile home stash house. The agents arrested two Venezuelan migrants for smuggling and charged them under 8 USC 1324, Jaquez tweeted.
