In an attempt to cross the Sarita checkpoint, four people from Houston were arrested and jailed in the Rio Grande Valley today after Border Patrol discovered nine illegal immigrants in two separate vans. Although the group tried to separate by a three hour drive, the agents at the Sarita checkpoint caught the pairs.
Nine immigrants total were caught, five in one van and four in the other. All four have been denied bond and are now in custody in a Rio Grande Valley jail.
Comments: This report indicates that although smugglers are attempting to fool the guards, many of them are not deceived, so this mini- bust, as small as it is, is actually a good sign; the increased training and technology is working. If trends continue, then there may be a possible break in the number of humans smuggled across our borders.
