¡Novedades en la frente de la guerra sin cuartel ...!

In the latest round of accumulated multiple busts:

U.S. Law Enforcement v. Drug & Human Trafficking Cartels. :)

"Del Rio Sector agents seize $1.2 million worth of marijuana over past week"

Also, in human trafficking:

"Guatemalans pay smuggler $2,000 each for passage ..."


Snippets from the Kinney County Post's front page special article for Tuesday, June 21, 2011.

"DEL RIO, Texas -- U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol agents assigned to the Del Rio Sector seized more than 1,600 pounds of marijuana worth more than $1.2 million over the past week.

"Also, on June 11, Carrizo Springs agents apprehended four Central Americans who had been smuggled into the country.

"Agents ... followed tire tracks and foot sign that led them to four subjects from Guatemala.

"The four said they had agreed to pay a smuggler $2,000 each for passage to Houston.

"All four were processed for removal by the Del Rio Sector Prosecutions Unit."

Random sample of a typical drug bust:

"In the early morning hours of June 12, agents assigned to the Eagle Pass South Station followed a trail of footprints to three large feed sacks filled with 245.21 pounds of marijuana.

"A search of the area turned up three subjects who were taken into custody ..."

Public - service message:

"CBP is charged is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws ..."

Man! Sure glad you great people are on the job; our good neighbors to the south seem to have some pretty severe issues of their own to deal with! :)

"Or, maybe not to deal with, huh?" :(
