On Thursday U.S. Border Patrol agents working the Rio Grande Valley Sector in Texas collaborate with the Starr County High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force to identified a stash house operating in Roma, Texas. Once inside the house they found eight illegal aliens from the countries of Mexico and Guatemala. All individuals were processed accordingly.



This Friday was very busy for deputies from the Webb County Sheriff's Office as they executed an arrest warrant at a known stash house on Garfield Street in Laredo, Texas. As they searched the house they encountered eight male individuals as U.S. Border Patrol agents arrived on the scene. The agents conducted immigration inspections on the individuals, who were determined to be illegally in the United States from the country of Guatemala. The stash house caretaker, a Mexican national, was determined to be illegally in the United States and was arrested. All individuals were processed accordingly.

Meanwhile in down in Progreso, Texas, U.S. Border Patrol agents working the Weslaco station witnessed a man trying to smuggle several bundles of narcotics that were loaded onto his vehicle near the bank of the Rio Grande. He then drove north to exploit one of the gaps in the border wall. The driver, a 23-year-old United States citizen, was arrested by the agents when they did a vehicle stop. The four bundles of marijuana, estimated at over 300 pounds, along with the vehicle were seized.
