Municipal police in Mexico arrested an alleged human smuggler and 16 migrants after the group attempted to enter the United States by cutting through a border fence.
Owens reported the smugglers attempted to cut through the border fence in the El Centro Sector. The Border Patrol agents responded to the incident after observing the smugglers using a cutting torch to attempt a breach of the border fence.
Then El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino tweeted photos of a Chevrolet Tahoe with a fake U.S. Border Patrol livery. The vehicle also did not have emergency lights. Chief Bovino was recently removed as sector chief by the Biden administration in what appeared to be a retaliatory action following the chief’s transcribed testimony about the current state of the border, Breitbart Texas. The removal came within hours of the chief providing the written testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security.
