| [FoxNews] U.S. Border Patrol agents in Texas, with the help of local law enforcement, arrested nearly 300 suspected illegal immigrants in a span of 18 hours last week, according to authorities. Agents shut down stash houses and foiled alleged smuggling attempts during four separate incidents that saw a total of 294 suspects arrested for trying to sneak into the U.S., according to authorities. At least 90 people taken into custody were from countries outside of Mexico. The first incident occurred Oct. 13, when agents from the Laredo South Station, working with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Webb County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO), searched a residence and discovered 123 individuals from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras "stashed inside." Authorities also encountered a sex offender inside the home, and immigrants were housed in unsanitary conditions, Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Matthew J. Hudak said, according to the Laredo Morning Times. Just hours later, agents and the sheriff’s office executed another search warrant at an apartment where they found 13 suspected illegal immigrants from Mexico living inside, along with "numerous U.S. citizens" who were also taken into custody, CBP said.
The final incident occurred Oct. 14, when a canine alerted agents to another trailer at a checkpoint. A "non-intrusive" scan was conducted that led to 74 individuals being discovered inside a refrigerated trailer.

| #1 Are there other reasons that citizens and illegals would mingle in an apartment in about equal numbers? The local ER looks like that. |
