Head of the U.S. Border Patrol, Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted he was “extremely proud” of the men and women working to protect the border after a successful three days. His agents “nabbed ten sex offenders, a slew of deadly drugs, and other illegal immigrants wanted for serious crimes in just three days” reported Fox News.
In addition, the agents rescued “nearly two dozen” migrants from danger. Specifically, Ortiz said when it comes to dangerous drugs, agents stopped 13 pounds of methamphetamine, 26 pounds of heroin and 131 pounds of fentanyl. “Fentanyl, more than 50-100 times more potent than morphine, has been blamed for the increase in overdose deaths across the country” reports Fox News.
Agents in Del Rio picked up one migrant with a prior conviction of sexual assault in Washington, and another on Wednesday who had been convicted of statutory rape. “Both had previously been deported.”
Ortiz also said agents encountered 18 large groups of migrants, totaling an overwhelming 2,446 migrants. Agents also had conducted 22 water rescues in that time period, and three agents had been assaulted while doing their job.
