Smugglers attempted to move a group of illegal migrants into the U.S. using fake FedEx vans, according to Border Patrol.
The smuggling attempt involved 26 illegal migrants and three vehicles that agents discovered in El Paso, Texas, U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector Chief Anthony Good said Wednesday. U.S. Border Patrol agents have experienced a surge in illegal immigration at the southern border in recent years and recorded roughly 1.2 million migrant encounters between October 2022 and April, according to federal statistics.
The smugglers will face charges for their alleged actions, Good said.
At least 1.5 million illegal migrants are known to have entered the country without detection under the Biden administration, individuals who are often referred to as “known gotaways,” House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green said in a statement Wednesday regarding his investigation into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ alleged “dereliction of duty.”
