West Texas Immigration Crackdown
from Texas News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Federal authorities are hitting hard on immigration enforcement in West Texas, filing 152 criminal cases in El Paso alone—charges ranging from illegal re-entry to alien smuggling. One Ecuadoran man, caught trying to re-enter after three prior removals and a revoked license from a DWI, is just one example. Meanwhile, a driver near Fort Hancock was busted smuggling five undocumented immigrants for $500 each. This surge is part of a coordinated effort by ICE, Border Patrol, DEA, FBI, and local agencies, with prosecutors in the massive Western District of Texas—covering 68 counties, nearly 93,000 square miles, and 666 miles of U.S.-Mexico border—filing 350 new immigration cases in just one week.
