In the past year, there have been more than 10,000 drone incursions flown by Mexican cartels operating in Mexico and in Texas in the Rio Grande Valley Sector of south Texas, Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Gloria Chavez testified Tuesday before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
The cartels are using the drones to identify where state and federal law enforcement officers are to avoid them and engage in criminal activity, she explained.
Like Tucson Border Patrol Sector Chief Modlin who testified before her that the majority of his sector’s apprehensions was of single military age men, Chief Chavez testified that the RGV Sector was mainly apprehending single adults from Central America and Mexico.
