U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector agents assigned to the Las Cruces Station apprehended 37 undocumented migrants concealed inside a tractor-trailer during a routine inspection at the Interstate-25 checkpoint on Sunday.
During the inspection, Agents reported hearing movement near the rear door of the trailer and observed individuals attempting to crouch behind freight. Further investigation revealed 37 migrants hiding inside the cargo trailer without proper documentation.
The migrants, who were from various countries, including Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, El Salvador and Ecuador were taken into custody and transported to the Central Processing Center for further processing under Title 8 authority.
During Fiscal Year 2024 El Paso Sector Agents disrupted 24 tractor trailer smuggling events with 387 migrants found. So far in fiscal year 2025, El Paso Sector Agents have disrupted four significant tractor trailer smuggling operations, resulting in the apprehension of 97 undocumented migrants.
The El Paso Sector Border Patrol regularly encounters smuggling tactics used by transnational criminal organizations, including concealing migrants in commercial vehicles. Smuggling large groups in tractor trailers poses extreme dangers due to the lack of proper safety measures. Individuals are often crammed into confined spaces without seat belts, adequate ventilation, or climate control often experiencing dangerously high temperatures in the summer and freezing conditions in the winter.
“Smuggling organizations exploit migrants with false promises of safe passage and easy entry, but illegal entry into the United States often involves tactics that not only violate U.S. immigration laws but also endanger lives,” said El Paso Sector Chief Anthony Scott Good. “We remain focused on enforcing immigration laws, holding smugglers accountable, and applying consequences to those who cross the border illegally or attempt to circumvent the legal immigration process.”

What, no outrage for this poor victim of federal law enforcement who only acted in self defense?
i would make a polite suggestion; please describe the guys working on the store fronts as facade crews.

Torrez engaged in another frivolous lawsuit.
As I've stated previously, the grants in question were a demonstration program. Of course Dems like Torrez only know one meaning of the word demonstration, but this grant was not intended to provide funding for protests, it was a trial program.
I'm calling on the Secretary of Agriculture to change the official designation of the Lincoln from National Forest, to National Ashtray.
It's designation should be more in line with it's actual use.
does this mean that you don't have a personal relationship with brooke rollins? saying that, has pam bondi ever gotten back in touch with you regarding the source of funding for all those nasty protests against dear leader's royal inclinations? couple weeks back, you told us that news was going to break immedia
After looking at New Mexico election law, a person may run as a candidate for office in the primary of the party they are registered with, without first seeking that party's approval.
this is just another echo of the fight to recognize the health risks of exposure to agent orange in the decades after the vietnam war.
Laymans translation, Mr. Sharp is having some problems proving his clients contracted cancer from PFAS.
Notice he's not crying about coverage for known cancer causing agents, but PRESUMED cancer causing agents. That's because to date, there is no known PROOF of any adverse health effects from PFAS.
there's neighbor john, right on schedule. he has already declared his willingness for other folks to be exposed to well established risks in environmental situations - just as long as he can't see them from where he lives.
So, Miyagishima is going after Republican and Independent voters instead of the Democrat base in a blue state who's election laws are heavily biased towards Democrats. Tells you something about the state of the Democrat Party.
