[Breitbart] Unmanned Aircraft System flights carried out by U.S. Customs and Border Protection led to multiple arrests along the Texas-Mexico border last week.CBP Air and Marine Operations team conducted multiple Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) flights in the Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector last week. The flights led to the disruption of multiple human smuggling attempts and the arrests of 26 people, according to information obtained from Del Rio Sector Border Patrol officials.
During the past week, AMO crews carried out at least five separate UAS flights to identify illegal border crossings and alert Border Patrol agents of crimes underway. The flights allowed Border Patrol agents to quickly respond to incidents they might have otherwise been unaware of.
The flights led to the arrests of 26 people in five separate incidents. Officials report the arrest of eight illegal aliens near Comstock, ten near Del Rio, seven near Eagle Pass, and four near Carrizo Springs — all in South Texas.
