EDINBURG, Texas<\/strong> \u2013 (PRESS RELEASE)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol (RGV) agents disrupted seven migrant smuggling attempts resulting in 40 arrests.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"On Feb. 17 in the early morning, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers requested assistance from McAllen Border Patrol (MCS) agents regarding a vehicle stop on a Ford Expedition near Penitas, Texas. Agents determined eight occupants were illegally present in the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n

The migrants are citizens of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. DPS took custody of the driver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around the same time, RGV agents working near San Manuel, Texas, attempted to conduct an immigration inspection on the occupants of a Ford F150.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The driver failed to yield and drove into a fence causing damage before bailing out. A search of the area resulted in the apprehension of ten noncitizens. The driver was not located.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later that morning, DPS troopers working in Mission, Texas, requested assistance with a vehicle stop from MCS agents involving a possible human smuggling attempt. MCS agents responded and took custody of eight migrants who were determined to be in the United States illegally. <\/span><\/p>\n

DPS took custody of the driver.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Shortly after the incident in Mission, Texas, RGV agents initiated a traffic stop on a Chevrolet Malibu near Linn, Texas.\u00a0The driver failed to yield to the agent\u2019s marked service unit and a vehicle pursuit ensued.\u00a0The vehicle immediately went off road and through two fences causing damage. The vehicle came to a stop and agents were able to apprehend two noncitizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week, RGV agents working near Santa Elena, Texas, attempted to perform an immigration inspection on a Ford truck. The driver failed to yield and drove through a privately owned fence. After coming to a stop, multiple subjects bailed out of the vehicle and absconded. A search of the area resulted in the apprehension of two migrants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roma Police Department (RPD) requested assistance from RGV agents with a failure to yield that resulted in a rollover in Roma, Texas. <\/span><\/p>\n

Agents responded and determined four of the occupants were nationals from El Salvador and Mexico illegally present in the United States. One migrant required medical treatment at a local medical facility. The migrant was later released with minor injuries and was transported to a Border Patrol facility. \u00a0RPD took custody of the driver. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night, RGV agents and DPS working on U.S. Highway 281 in Brooks County, Texas, initiated a traffic stop on a Cadillac Sport Utility Vehicle. <\/span><\/p>\n

The driver failed to yield and lost control resulting in a rollover. Agents encountered four noncitizens, who were medically evaluated by EMTs and didn\u2019t require any further treatment. DPS took custody of the driver.<\/span><\/p>\n
