FIRST ON FOX: ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents in Laredo, Texas, arrested a father and son accused of smuggling hundreds of firearms, including rifles, magazines and ammunition into Mexico after Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers discovered hidden compartments in two trailers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
 
On Oct. 23, CBP officers working at the Laredo Bridge 2 Port of Entry stopped two southbound vehicles towing box trailers for inspection.

Agents said they noticed irregularities in the trailer walls.

A secondary inspection revealed false compartments packed with an arsenal: roughly 400 firearms of various calibers, high-capacity magazines, and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Headed for rioters in a democrat-controlled city near you.

Wondering:
Where did they GET all those firearms to smuggle...?
Just walk into a few gun shops and buy them...?
Without arising any suspicions at all...?

Maybe not, since they were smuggling them into Mexico.

Father (they say legal to stay, but not citizen) and son (probable anchor child) with somewhat different last name... looks like they combed the flea markets for quite a while to gather their stock. Lot of wood stock long guns. Wish they put up a better picture.

I imagine guns triple in price across the border. You can bet this wasn't their first trip (and drug dealers were involved in some step).
