Hordes of illegal aliens are once again flooding Eagle Pass, Texas, as the Mexican government has reportedly relinquished control of the border there and is allowing a shadowy cartel to control migration flows in the area.
As Texas authorities are once again confronted with mass crossings into Maverick County, immigration news outlet Border Hawk has learned that an as-yet-unknown criminal network is now overseeing highly-lucrative human smuggling and trafficking operations on the Mexican side of the border in Coahuila state.
Virtually every day, multiple large groups of up to 200 illegals are making their way across the river into Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector.
Cartel tactics are now evident, where they were not before, as growing numbers of ‘unaccompanied minors’ and Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) are being found within these groups.
Additionally, authorities are now finding wrist bands typically used by cartels to signify key details about ‘migrant clients,’ such as whether or not they have paid their dues and where they are clear to travel and cross into the U.S.
“One thing I hadn’t seen here is these bracelets being used on the illegal immigrants that are crossing the Rio Grande. For the most part, we would see these in the Rio Grande Valley. This is what the cartels use to place on the illegal immigrants that are crossing because it does designate that they have paid and also designates what area they can cross along the border,” Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a recent video posted to social media.
