Smugglers Continue Use of Large Migrant Groups to Distract Border Patrol at Texas Border
 
Bob Price10 Aug 2019

Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents continue to see the use of “large migrant groups” as a tactic by smugglers to distract and tie-up agents. This week, agents apprehended two large groups totaling nearly 250 Central American migrants.

McAllen Border Patrol Station agents encountered a large group of migrants who illegally crossed the border on Sunday near Hidalgo, Texas. The agents responding to the incident reported a group of 100 migrants from Central and South America, according to information obtained from Rio Grande Sector Border Patrol officials. The group consisted of family units, unaccompanied alien children, and single adults who traveled to the U.S. from Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Gregory Nevano, an Assistant Director at Homeland Security Investigations, recently testified before a Senate committee on this very phenomena:

Drug cartels use migrants to create “human diversions” by organizing them into large groups and dropping them at remote locations in the middle of the night.
