Del Rio Sector Assistant Chief Patrol Agent Brady Waikel told Breitbart News that “nothing crosses the river in this area without a payment being made†to Mexican cartels. His comments came during a recent roundtable discussion between Del Rio Sector leadership and Breitbart.
“When you’re talking about people coming across and being rescued and when you’re talking about deaths [while] crossing the border,†Chief Waikel told Breitbart News, “those transnational organizations — that’s the cause of all of that.â€
Waikel and Del Rio Sector Director of Operations Randy Clark revealed that agents in their sector conduct more than half of all water rescues across all Border Patrol sectors. Agents in the Del Rio Sector carried out at least 470 rescues of migrants in life-threatening distress. During FY 2019, which ended on September 30, Border Patrol agents rescued at least 4,900 migrants.
