Venezuelan detainee repeatedly punched El Paso agent after being separated from her belongings, complaint alleges
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A Venezuelan woman is facing federal charges after allegedly assaulting a Border Patrol agent at an El Paso migrant processing center.
Border agents on June 30 detained Maria Alexandra Louze Flores at an Interstate 10 checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas. That, and other checkpoints 20 to 40 miles north of the Mexican border serve as a second line of defense to stop drugs and migrants who make it past the border wall.
The agents found the woman ineligible to proceed to the interior of the United States and placed her on a Border Patrol van headed to the processing center at 12501 Gateway South Blvd. in El Paso. Court records show Louze was escorted out of the van to the intake area of the facility.
