Migrant Woman Dies on Texas Ranch 80 Miles from Mexican Border
2:45
First responders in Brooks County, Texas, attempted to revive a Mexican migrant woman who apparently suffered a heart attack after being abandoned by cartel-connected human smugglers. The woman did not respond to CPR or other techniques and died at the scene.
Brooks County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Bianca Mora received information about a pair of lost migrants on a ranch in the southern portion of the jurisdiction on November 30, according to information released this week. Deputy Mora teamed up with Border Patrol agents to locate the migrants.
At about 1:51 p.m., Brooks County dispatchers received a 911 call from a man who said his wife appeared to be having a heart attack. The man identified himself as Joel Camillo.
Dispatchers provided Border Patrol agents with the GPS coordinates from the call. At the scene, they found the woman to be unconscious and foaming at the mouth, officials stated. The agents determined the woman had no pulse and began CPR chest compressions.
The agents loaded the woman and her husband into Border Patrol vehicles and continued chest compressions as they drove her out of the ranch onto U.S. Highway 281. The agents transported the woman to the Falfurrias Checkpoint where they met up with EMS personnel.
Agents utilized an Artificial External Defibrillator at the checkpoint to try and save the woman. When the EMS ambulance arrived, the crew attempted additional life-saving techniques to no avail. After consulting via radio with an ER doctor, the ambulance crew ceased life-saving efforts.
The woman’s husband identified her as Esmeralda Torres-Carmona, a 32-year-old Mexican national. She would have turned 33 on Christmas Eve.
The local justice of the peace made the statutory declaration of death and ordered an autopsy. Funeral home officials arranged transportation of the woman’s body to the Webb County Medical Examiner’s office in Laredo.
The Mexican woman is the 45th migrant to be found dead in Brooks County this year. The county is located approximately 80 miles north of the Texas border with Mexico.
So far this year, at least 351 migrants died while or shortly after crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S. At least 223 of those deaths occurred in Texas, according to the International Organization for Migration’s Missing Migrant Project.

Border Patrol agents apprehended
more than four million migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border with
Mexico during the past 10 fiscal years. If these migrants were placed into a
single city, it would be larger than Los Angeles by population.
During the past 10 fiscal years, October
1, 2009, through September 30, 2019, U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the
nine sectors that make up the United States’ southwest border with Mexico
apprehended 4,318,200 migrants. The highest year during that decade for
apprehensions occurred during Fiscal Year 2019 when agents apprehended 851,553
— including 76,020 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) and 473,682 Family Unit
Aliens (FMUA), according to reports obtained from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.
Apprehensions by Fiscal Year:
- FY2019 — 851,553
- FY2018 — 396,579
- FY2017 — 303,916
- FY2016 — 408,870
- FY2015 — 331,333
- FY2014 — 479,371
- FY2013 — 414,397
- FY2012 — 356,873
- FY2011 — 327,577
- FY2010 — 447,731
During the past decade, Rio Grande
Valley (RGV) Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended the largest numbers of
migrants. Between fiscal years 2010 and 2019, RGV Sector agents apprehended
1,600,663 migrants who illegally crossed the border into South Texas, the
reports state.
Agents assigned to the Tucson Sector
had the second-highest number of total apprehensions — 946,948. The Big Bend
Sector in West Texas had the lowest number of total apprehensions — 56,149.
The report shows a shifting in
migration traffic during the past decade. In FY2010, the Tucson Sector reported
the highest number of apprehensions — 212,202. This changed in FY2013 when the
largest apprehension numbers shifted to the RGV Sector.
In Fiscal Year 2019, RGV agents
apprehended 339,135 migrants including 34,523 UACs and 211,631 FMUAs.
During the past 10 fiscal years,
Border Patrol agents apprehended a total of 433,216 unaccompanied minors.
Officials reported that more than half of those apprehensions, 235,050 took
place in the RGV Sector.
FMUA apprehension numbers for the
decade were not readily available. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials
provided statistics for Fiscal Years 2013 through 2019. During that period,
Border Patrol agents apprehended 857,328 family units. More than half of these,
463,811, occurred in the RGV Sector.
FMUA apprehensions represent the
largest increase in migrant demographics. The number of apprehensions jumped
from 14,855 in FY2013 to 473,682 in FY2019 — an increase of more than 3,000
percent. Again, more than half of the FMUA apprehensions occurred in the RGV
Sector — 463,811.
With three fiscal years missing from
the FMUA report, FMUA and UAC apprehensions account for 1.3 million of the
total 4.3 million apprehensions. These demographics also represent the highest
cost to U.S. taxpayers in terms of processing, transporting, feeding, and
providing healthcare, Border Patrol officials repeatedly state.

CALIFORNIA: now a colony of Mexico
By Jessica Vaughan
Earlier this week ICE released its 2019 report on enforcement activity. While overall removals increased due to a record number of illegal arrivals at the southwest border, removals from the interior declined by 10 percent. Meanwhile, ICE's caseload grew by 24 percent, with more than 630,000 cases added to its docket, which has grown to a record high of more than three million cases.
THOMAS
HOMAN, the former acting head of
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
warned Democrats running in 2020 about
“enticing” illegal immigrants with lax policies.
"They
say they care about these people, they
care
about children dying and women being
raped...
they need to look in the mirror
because
if you keep offering enticements...
'sanctuary
cities'... free health care... in-state
tuition...
people are going to put themselves in
harm's
way to come to this country," Homan
Six-Time
Deported Illegal
Alien Accused of Killing
Colorado Grandmother
29 Dec 20192,239
1:57
A six-time deported
illegal alien has been arrested for allegedly killing a 51-year-old Colorado
grandmother after being released from local law enforcement custody.
Juan Sanchez, a Mexican
illegal alien who has already been deported from the United States six times
over the last decade, was arrested last week and charged with vehicular
homicide and fleeing the scene of an accident after he allegedly hit and killed
Annette Conquering Bear, a grandmother, while she was walking home from
Walgreens, 9 News reported.
Sanchez, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) officials revealed, was deported from the U.S. twice in 2002,
three times in 2008, and in 2012. Sometime after his last deportation, he
illegally re-entered the U.S. for the seventh time.
“Sanchez is an ICE enforcement priority,”
ICE officials said in a statement.
Four days before Conquering Bear’s killing,
Sanchez was in local law enforcement custody on suspicion of drunk driving but
was released after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said
they did not have enough time in advance to lodge a detainer against him so he
could be turned over to their custody.
During that arrest, Sanchez was allegedly
driving drunk with a blood-alcohol level of 0.183, which is twice the legal
limit. Police said Sanchez admitted to having had “two beers” before getting in
his car and driving with an “international driver’s license.”
Sanchez was taken into custody at the time
and was then quickly released after he became uncooperative and allegedly
telling officers, “I’ll fight my way out of jail.”
The illegal alien is now being held on a
$500,000 bond.
Sanctuary City Released Human Rights Violator
And then NYC hit the snooze button on this wake-up call
In my last post, I discussed a Liberian
amnesty provision that was snuck into section 7611
of the National Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2020. I specifically
referenced the case of Liberian human rights violator Charles
Cooper,
who was removed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Liberia in
June 2018. I left out the part about how the New York Police Department (NYPD)
failed to honor an ICE detainer for him, and released him without even
notifying the agency. The incident does not reflect well on those who set the
rules for New York's finest.
Cooper entered the United
States in January 2006 on a nonimmigrant visa, and remained beyond his
authorized return date. He was no ordinary visa overstay. According to ICE,
Cooper "served as a bodyguard to former Liberian President Charles Taylor
and was a member of a paramilitary police unit called the Secret Security
Service (SSS)."
ICE continued:
"Cooper, while a member of the SSS and the National Patriotic Front of
Liberia [NPLF], was directly involved in the persecution of civilians in
Liberia." In addition to identifying Cooper as "a human rights
violator," the agency asserted that he was "a member of an organization
known for setting fires to whole villages."
The aforementioned Charles Taylor is a special case.
He was a Liberian civil servant in the 1980s, and was accused of embezzlement.
He made his way to the United States, but escaped from prison in Massachusetts
where he was being held for extradition, and travelled back to West Africa. He
thereafter formed the NPFL, and in 1989 launched attacks against the Liberian
government from the Ivory Coast, igniting Liberia's first civil war.
Global
Security explains
that between December 1989 and the middle of 1993, the NPFL "is estimated
to have been responsible for thousands of deliberate killings of civilians. As
NPFL forces advanced towards Monrovia in 1990, they targeted people of the
Krahn and Mandingo ethnic groups, both of which the NPFL considered supporters
of [then-Liberian President Samuel] Doe's government."
Various factions became
involved in the conflict, including the NPFL; forces that were loyal to Doe;
the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and their Nigerian-led
peacekeeping force, ECOMOG; and the breakaway Independent National Patriotic
Front of Liberia (INPFL), which was led by Prince Johnson. INPFL captured, mutilated,
and killed Doe on September 10, 1990.
The first bloody civil war
ended with Taylor's election as president in 1997. According to Britannica, however:
As
president, Taylor restructured the army, filling it with members of his former
militia. Conflict ensued between Taylor and the opposition, and Monrovia became
the scene of widespread gun battles and looting. Governments around the world
accused Taylor of supporting rebels in Sierra Leone, and in 2000 the United
Nations Security Council imposed sanctions on Liberia. The country was
subsequently gripped again by civil war, and Taylor, accused of gross human
rights violations, was indicted by a UN-sponsored war-crimes tribunal (the
Special Court for Sierra Leone) in 2003.
Following
widespread international condemnation, Taylor agreed to go into exile in
Nigeria. In March 2006, however, the Liberian government requested Taylor's extradition,
and Nigeria announced that it would comply with the order. Taylor subsequently
attempted to flee Nigeria but was quickly captured. Charged with crimes against
humanity and war crimes committed during Sierra Leone's civil war, he was later
sent to The Hague, where he was to be tried before the Special Court for Sierra
Leone.
Taylor was found guilty in
April 2012 on 11 counts "of bearing responsibility for the war crimes and
crimes against humanity committed by rebel forces during Sierra Leone's civil
war", and subsequently sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Back to Cooper. As noted, he entered as
a nonimmigrant with permission to remain until August 2006. When he failed to
depart, he was placed into removal proceedings. He was ordered removed by an
immigration judge and appealed the decision, which was dismissed by the Board
of Immigration Appeals in February 2016.
According to ICE:
On
Aug. 11, 2017, Cooper was arrested by the New York Police Department, and
charged with DWI. On that same date, [ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations
(ERO)] deportation officers lodged an immigration detainer with the NYPD's
Richmond Central Booking. Cooper was released from NYPD custody, without the
detainer being honored and without notification to ICE.
Fortunately, in May 2018,
ICE deportation officers arrested Cooper in Staten Island, New York, leading to
his removal.
As my former
colleague Preston
Huennekens reported:
"In March 2013, New York City began ignoring [ICE] detainer notices."
According to ICE, the agency had "not
been notified about the release of aliens in custody at New York City
facilities since 2014, except for those that fall within the 170 crimes
considered egregious by the Mayor's Office." Apparently, human rights
violators do not make the cut.
Huennekens noted that in just
one three-month period (January to mid-April 2018), the NYPD and the New York
Department of Corrections together ignored 440 detainers; "40 of those
individuals released from custody subsequently committed more crimes and were
arrested again." About this, ICE stated: "In
just three months, more than three dozen criminal aliens were released from
local custody. Simply put, the politics and rhetoric in this city are putting
its own communities at an unnecessary risk."
To restate the obvious:
Sanctuary policies, including those that prevent ICE from finding out about the
release of dangerous aliens and that require police to ignore ICE detainers,
make no sense. They only serve as sanctuary for criminals, or in Cooper's case,
human rights violators.
Cooper should have served
as a wake-up call to those in power who, for purely political reasons, require
the NYPD to turn a blind eye to ICE's requests for help. But instead, as
Huennekens' reporting demonstrates, Gotham's officials simply hit the snooze
button.
