El Paso, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers working at ports of entry in El Paso, West Texas and New Mexico recorded 110 enforcement actions last week. CBP officers intercepted drug smugglers, illegal immigrants, fugitives and other violators during the course of the day. “The threat remains high and we remain vigilant,” said Ana Hinojosa, director of field operations in El Paso. “It is important that the residents of our community understand that CBP officers are working hard everyday to identify and stop any and all violations they encounter. They have to inspect all arriving people and they are finding those that are in violation of our laws.”
CBP officers working at area ports this week recorded 63 immigration violations. Intended immigrants made up a large group of the violators. A total of 35 were identified through thorough document exams. In these cases, individuals will use a legally issued border-crossing card (laser visa) to live or work in the U.S., which is not authorized. Violators generally lose their documents and are returned to Mexico. The balance of the immigration violations included false claims to citizenship, impostors, visa overstays, alien smugglers, counterfeit documents and people entering the country without proper inspection.
