Big Bend Sector Border Patrol agents continue to find human smugglers packing migrants into dangerously overloaded vehicles that are ripe for the spread of COVID-19. The Big Bend Sector covers some of the most remote areas of the southwestern border including 517 border miles, 77 Texas counties, and the entire state of Oklahoma.

Big Bend Sector Chief Patrol Agent Sean McGoffin tweeted pictures showing multiple disrupted human smuggling incidents where the smugglers put the migrants’ lives at risk in dangerous conditions. The smugglers packed the migrants into overloaded pickup trucks and a small motorhome.

Large smuggling schemes in Big Bend:
– Van Horn agents intercept a vehicle transporting 12 undocumented migrants in the bed of a truck.
– Sanderson agents encountered 23 undocumented migrants in a RV. One individual arrested had an outstanding warrant for Homicide in Houston, TX. pic.twitter.com/7d0LUGkNRu

Van Horn Station Border Patrol agents stopped a pickup truck with 12 migrants packed into the bed of the truck. Agents assigned to the Sanderson Station stopped another smuggling attempt where 23 migrants were packed inside a Class C motorhome.

McGoffin reported that one person arrested in these incidents has an outstanding arrest warrant. The subject is wanted for homicide in Harris County, Texas.

El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino retweeted McGoffin’s post and added that “The tight confines of this RV are ripe for the spread of COVID, while 12 in the back of a pickup could spell disaster during an accident.”

Our #USBP brethren in Big Bend #Texas have also been busy. The tight confines of this RV are ripe for the spread of COVID, while 12 in the back of a pickup could spell disaster during an accident. Great job Big Bend Agents! https://t.co/aYPOIXQwU2

Earlier this month, Big Bend Sector agents assigned to the Sierra Blanca Station and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers found 74 migrants packed inside two fifth-wheel travel trailers, Breitbart Texas reported.

“The coordination and collaboration between the agents and Texas Department of Public Safety resulted in multiple migrants being rescued from a very dangerous situation,” Chief McGoffin said at the time. “Transnational criminal organizations recruit United States Citizens to facilitate their smuggling schemes, they continue to place lives in danger with little regard for their safety and well-being.”

During the month of June, Big Bend Sector agents apprehended a total of 4,554 migrants. This represents an increase of 590 percent over the previous June’s total of 600 apprehensions. So far this year, this sector’s agents apprehended 29,852 migrants — a 504 percent increase over the same period in FY2020 when agents apprehended only 5,358 migrants.

Texas Dem Tells Biden: You Need to Listen to the Border Towns Being Crushed By the Crisis

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) is becoming increasingly upset at the Biden administration's handling of the ongoing border crisis, recently saying the Democrats in charge are not listening to the border towns who are bearing the brunt of the historic surge in illegal immigration.

Cuellar, who did criticize some of former President Donald Trump's border policies in the past, has been one of the few outspoken Democrats who have called out the disastrous approach Biden and his team has taken to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Cuellar pointed to how police in La Joya, Texas, a border town, found out COVID-positive illegal immigrants were being released into the public and not being properly monitored to ensure they were staying in the hotel rooms they had been put up in.

"Again, they don’t have to listen to me. They need to listen to the border communities and the border communities are saying, 'Hold up, put a pause.' In my hometown of Laredo, they filed a lawsuit against the federal government saying, 'We don’t want anymore more buses of migrants coming in.' The county judge in Webb County put a declaration saying 'We are going to stop border patrol buses from bringing in any more migrants into this because cases have shot up and hospitals are getting full. We don’t have the personnel to work at the hospitals because a lot of them have been sick,'" Cuellar said.

"So this is what we are facing. They don’t have to listen to me, but they need to listen to the border communities, to the border communities and they certainly need to listen to the men and women. They don’t just want a pat on the back, they need some real help now," he added.
