Meth, Cocaine Seized at Re-Opened Interior Border Patrol Checkpoints
|
 [BREITBART] Border Patrol agents in the Yuma and El Paso Sectors seized methamphetamine and cocaine at interior immigration checkpoints recently re-opened after the downturn in illegal border crossings. Officials closed checkpoints in these sectors and others earlier this year to redirect resources to the border.
Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to the Interstate 8 Immigration Checkpoint on August 21 observed a gold Ford Explorer approaching for inspection. During the initial interview, a K-9 alerted to an odor it is trained to detect, according to information obtained from Yuma Sector Border Patrol officials. The agents referred the driver to a secondary inspection station.
A search revealed 55 packages of methamphetamine hidden inside the gas tank of the 2001 Explorer. Agents determined the weight of the drugs to be approximately 59 pounds and estimated the street value at more than $135,000, officials stated.
The following day, Welton Station agents conducted a traffic stop on a 2002 Dodge Durango as it traveled through Dome Valley, northeast of Yuma, officials reported. During an immigration interview, the agents discovered the U.S. citizen driver was allegedly smuggling four illegal immigrants colonists from Mexico. Officials say the Dome Valley route is an area where smugglers attempt to move their "cargo" in order to avoid the Interstate 8 checkpoint.
El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to the Texas Highway 62/180 Immigration Checkpoint on August 21, observed a 2005 Ford Expedition approaching for inspection. Agents report the driver of the vehicle, 32-year-old Raul Cortez of Odessa, Texas, appeared to be "excessively nervous" during the immigration interview. A K-9 carried out a "non-intrusive sniff" of the vehicle and alerted to an odor he is trained to detect, officials stated.
