Border Patrol agents in South Texas apprehended more than 270 migrants packed in tractor-trailers at interior immigration checkpoints during the past week. The arrests took place in five separate smuggling incidents.
Landrum also tweeted images and a report of his agents apprehending more than 3,000 migrants last week. In addition to the apprehensions, Laredo Sector agents also turned back more than 500 migrants and kept them from crossing the Rio Grande. They also seized more than 850 pounds of drugs, Landrum stated.
During the first five months of this fiscal year, which began October 1, 2021, Laredo Sector agents apprehended just under 40,000 migrants. March numbers for the Laredo Sector are not yet available, but the apprehension of 3,000 migrants in a single week could indicate a sharp increase in the only Border Patrol sector that previously showed a decrease over FY2021 apprehensions.
