Officials detained two men after identifying Guatemalan immigrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico to Texas. Each man wore a “full-length sweatsuit used for scuba diving.” “Each of them owned their own individual water propulsion equipment.”
Officials said the device was used to “sail through the dangerous waters of Rio Grande.”
Officers handed over two Guatemalan citizens to Border Patrol agents for removal procedures.
Also last week, agents from the Border Patrol in Del Rio Sector seized a drone used by smuggling scouts connected to the cartel. Degi De Leon, chief patrol agent of the acting Del Rio sector, posted about the drone seized by X.
Deleon said his agents worked with the Texas Public Safety Director and the Mexican government to detect and find the drone. The chief said the drones are being used by scouts to find a clear path for smuggling activities.
The agents used their own drones to find and arrest five illegal aliens trying to sneak into the US under the cover of darkness, Deleon posted to X.
The agents worked with Texas national security guards to find illegal foreigners and arrest them. “All illegal aliens will face the full consequences of their actions,” the chief said.
