HARLINGEN, Texas (Border Report) — Four people, including two who law enforcement say are in the United States illegally, have been arrested on charges of leading a human smuggling ring in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas.
 
Enrique Gonzalez, 57, of Weslaco, and Mexican national Erick Vallejo-Zapata, 21, are set for their initial appearances on Friday in federal court in McAllen before U.S. Magistrate Judge Juan Alanis, U.S. Attorney Nicholas Ganjei said Thursday.

Rigoberto Esteban Perez-Cruz, 37, of Edinburg, and Mexican national Mirza Garcia-Zapata, 37, have already made their appearances, and remain in custody. They have detention hearings on Tuesday, Ganjei said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
