JOE BIDEN'S Memo to Agents: Stop Saying 'Mexican Cartels'
Woman Arrested at Texas Border with 8500 Pills, Says CBP
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized a large quantity of undeclared pharmaceutical medications and arrested the alleged smuggler. The search of a woman attempting to enter the United States from Mexico yielded more than 8,500 undeclared pills.
CBP officers assigned to the Gateway to the Americas Bridge in Laredo, Texas, on August 7 observed a woman approaching in the pedestrian lane for entry into the United States. After an initial interview, the CBP officer referred the woman, a 43-year-old U.S. citizen, to a secondary inspection area, according to information obtained from CBP officials in Laredo.
During a secondary investigation, an officer searched the woman’s belongings and found 16 packages filled with pills, officials stated. The packages contained 1,508 Carisoprodol tablets, 2,679 Valium tablets, 600 Ritalin tablets, and 3,771 Xanax tablets. The woman did not declare any of the pills.
The CBP officers seized more than 8,500 pills and arrested the woman. Officers turned the woman and the undeclared pills over to ICE Homeland Security Investigations for further investigation and preparation of federal charges.
“This seizure of undeclared prescription medication was composed of muscle relaxants, sedatives and stimulants that are classified as controlled substances by the Drug Enforcement Administration,” Port Director Alberto Flores, Laredo Port of Entry said in a written statement. “Fortunately, our frontline officers remain vigilant in the interdiction of these dangerous drugs, which aids in the prosecution of alleged drug traffickers.”
Officials said federal law allows a person to carry personal use quantities of medication across the border. This is generally considered to be a supply of 90 days. To be legal, the medications must be labeled with a doctor’s prescription or the person must be carrying a prescription from the doctor if the containers are unlabeled.

2.8 Tons of Meth, Fentanyl Seized at California Border Crossing
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 2.8 tons of methamphetamine and fentanyl at a commercial border crossing in California. Officers found the deadly drugs in a shipment of plastic household items.
CBP officers assigned to the Otay Mesa Commercial Facility on August 5 observed a tractor-trailer hauling a load of plastic household items approaching from Mexico. Following an initial interview, a CBP officer referred the driver, a Mexican national, to a secondary inspection station, according to information obtained from CBP officials this week.
Additional officers carried out non-intrusive inspections utilizing an x-ray scan and found several anomalies inside the trailer, officials stated. An exterior search by a K-9 team also confirmed suspicions of the presence of drugs in the trailer.
The officers conducted a physical inspection of the trailer and found 414 packages of narcotics hidden within the cargo area. The drugs tested positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl, officials stated.
Officers weighed the drugs and cataloged 5,528 pounds of methamphetamine and 127 pounds of fentanyl powder. Officials estimate the value of the drugs at $12,990,749.
The officers arrested the 53-year-old Mexican national and seized the drugs and tractor-trailer.
Special agents with ICE Homeland Security Investigations took custody of the driver for further investigation and processing of federal drug smuggling charges. The driver is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego, California.
“This amount of fentanyl and methamphetamine is enough to ruin countless lives and fund transnational criminal organizations,” Pete Flores, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Diego said in a written statement. “I’m proud of our officers’ efforts at all Ports of Entry within the San Diego Field Office to intercept this and all smuggling attempts.”

Mexico Blocks Mothers from Searching Border City Cartel Killing Field for Their Kids
Mexican federal investigators began a new search in a cartel killing field near the Texas border. The move came after pressure from a group of mothers looking for their loved ones. However, officials are prohibiting the group from directly participating despite their training to search for human remains.
The search took place in “La Bartolina,” a vast rural area east of Matamoros, Tamaulipas, used for years by the Gulf Cartel to kill and dispose of victims. Members of Mexico’s Federal Search Commission, Attorney General’s Office, and others released photographs of them searching in the killing field without the help of the mothers.
In 2016, Mexican officials tried to cover up the discovery of a clandestine incineration site in La Bartolina, claiming they were unable to determine if the remains were animal or human. For several years now, the Gulf Cartel has terrorized Matamoros with deadly ransom kidnappings. It remains unclear how many were taken to La Bartolina.
Since then, Mexico’s federal government has confirmed the discovery of human remains at La Bartolina but stopped searching earlier this year. Since then, the Union of Collectives of Searching Mothers of Tamaulipas has pressured officials at the federal and state levels to continue looking in La Bartolina–revealing that most of the property in question is still untouched.
In their desperation, the activists published an open letter to Mexico’s Gulf Cartel begging for permission to search La Bartolina, claiming they just wanted closure in the face of government inaction.

Cartel Smugglers Abandon 6-Year-Old in Arizona Border Desert
Human smugglers moved an unaccompanied six-year-old across the Arizona border from Mexico and then abandoned the boy.
Yuma Sector Chief Patrol agent Chris Clem tweeted images captured by border surveillance camera operators monitoring traffic along the Arizona border with Mexico. The images reveal smugglers moving a little boy across an irrigation canal into the United States.
The smugglers then directed the boy through a gap in the incomplete border wall system and parted ways.
Additional images show the boy with Border Patrol agents and medical staff.
Chief Clem reports that his agents have apprehended more than 4,700 unaccompanied minors during Fiscal Year 2021, which began on October 1, 2020. He stated that 500 of these were age 12 and under.
Elsewhere in the Yuma Sector, Border Patrol agents rescued two migrants who became lost in the desert after illegally crossing the border from Mexico into Arizona. Agents determined both suffered from severe dehydration.
A Border Patrol agent trained as an EMT began intravenous fluid to stabilize the migrants before moving them to the Yuma Regional Medical Center for additional treatment and evaluation.
As of June 30, Yuma Sector agents apprehended nearly 60,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border — an increase of more than 800 percent over the same period last year. Agents identified 27,779 of those as single adult migrants (up 702 percent), 28,349 as family unit aliens (up 999 percent), and 3,757 as unaccompanied minors (up 579 percent). July numbers are expected to be released by CBP officials later this week.

DEA Memo to Agents: Stop Saying 'Mexican Cartels'
Source: Katie Pavlich/Townhall Media
So, what explains this Beijing move to censor speech when talking about the war on drugs. I don’t even like the war on drugs. It’s a total failure, a war we should have called quits on decades ago—but we still wage it. Yet, as it stands now, drugs are still pouring across the border. It’s part of the immigration and securing our borders crisis, so it’s somewhat different than jailing people for recreational use, but the Drug Enforcement Administration has sent out what looks like a ‘woke’ memo instructing agents to stop referring to the Mexican drug cartels as…Mexican drug cartels. The Daily Caller obtained a copy of the memo:
Officials at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been directed by their headquarters to stop using the term “Mexican cartel” when speaking with the media, according to an email exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation from a government official.
A portion of the email sent mid-July stated: “Also, we need to now avoid saying ‘Mexican cartel’ or discussing the Mexican government or LE cooperation with Mexico. Please continue using ‘drug cartel,’ TCO, DTO, etc.”
[…]
The guidance came as the Mexican cartels continue surging drugs across the southern border and into the U.S. Between October and June, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized 358,302 pounds of drugs at the southwest border, including 8,093 pounds of lethal fentanyl.
Over the same time period in 2020, CBP seized 541,126 pounds of drugs at the U.S.-Mexico border. And over the 9-month period in 2019, CBP seized 498,281 pounds of drugs, and, during those months in 2018, they seized 677,179 pounds of drugs. The amount of fentanyl seized at the border has steadily increased throughout the last few years and the amount seized so far in 2021 has already exceeded what was captured in 2019 and 2020 combined.
This isn’t rocket science. A ton of drugs made by the cartels are pouring into the US from Mexico, but we just can’t say that they’re…Mexican drug cartels. They’re not Amish. They’re not Asian. This is an Obama holdover protocol. Just call it by something else and then it’s not a crisis anymore. Call it by something else to avoid dealing with this issue. It doesn’t make the problem go away, nor does it erase the ethnic or racial elements these woke liberals are so sensitive about. The Mexican drug cartels are a problem. There’s nothing wrong in saying that.
Inland Texas County Sees 900% Spike in Migrants Hiding on Freight Trains
On Tuesday, Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco and his deputies helped Border Patrol agents search freight trains entering the rural Texas town. In what has become a local trend, more than 50 migrants were pulled from a train.
The Border Patrol faces staffing challenges due to the humanitarian care demands from the migrant influx. Manpower shortages make checking trains more challenging, considering the spike in migrants using rail to sidestep the asylum process.
Border Patrol reports more than 5,200 migrants have been found riding on the trains in Uvalde since October 2020, an increase of 900 percent compared to the previous year. Nearly 1,000 were discovered in July 2021 alone.
The staffing challenges could prove deadly for the migrants. Freight is notoriously unfriendly to stowaways. Accidents and fatalities can occur when migrants are struck, crushed by shifting cargo, suffocated, or overexposed.
Earlier this month, Sheriff Nolasco’s deputies responded to an incident at the rail siding involving an injured Honduran migrant. The man’s foot was caught and severed under the wheels as he attempted to jump from the moving train. The migrant was treated by EMS at the scene and later flown to a hospital in San Antonio for additional care.
Most of the migrants discovered on the Tuesday train boarded in nearby Eagle Pass. The Texas Department of Transportation notes that nearly 400,000 rail cars enter the United States each year from Mexico at Eagle Pass. Most cars will travel through Uvalde and absent a significant change in the flow of migrants crossing the border illegally, the situation along the rail line is unlikely to improve.
