Border Patrol Drone Finds 24 Migrants Avoiding Arrest in Texas
2022-02-21
[Breitbart] Border Patrol agents in Texas continue to arrest migrants attempting to avoid apprehension with the use of aerial video technology, whom would otherwise be classified as “got-aways.”

Laredo Sector Carl E. Landrum tweeted an image showing what Border Patrol agents see when Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) cameras pick up a group of migrants moving through the brush. In this incident, the agents were led to the location of 24 migrants attempting to avoid arrest.

The sUAS operators guided the agents to the migrants who placed them under arrest.

“As USBP continues to expand its use of border technology, smugglers are discovering that it is becoming harder to hide under the cover of darkness,” Chief Landrum said in the tweet.

Further west, agents in the remote Big Bend Sector utilize night vision technology to find groups of migrants wearing dark and camouflaged clothing to attempt to hide in the brush.

#1  I can find hundreds of illegal aliens anytime I want to in most of Southern California, Tucson or El Paso. Just set up a simple checkpoint on a major urban street and film to drive arounds.

In 1993 I was in the Commander of the CA NG CounterDrug Task Force and visiting the USBP in San Diego to discuss support to the border road, fence surveillance and cargo inspection missions. My staff and I were in civilian clothes and stopped at the Dennys next to I-5 about 3 miles north of the border at San Ysidro for breakfast. We came out after breakfast and noticed a large van in the parking lot with the doors open and pedestrians coming up from the freeway and getting in. I sent one man to get the license number of the van and a second to call the USBP (days before cellphones as common possessions). The Van took off and crashed out of the parking lot at high speed, sped through the intersection causing a multi-car accident, got onto the freeway on=ramp and crashed into the ditch. We ran up to th intersection to help those in the accidentwho might be injured, and to observe the van, announcing in English and Spanish that we had called the Sheriff and USBP. In about 5 minutes both arrived on scene and we were standing in the intersection alone, every single person in the cars had fled on foot. Every single one! This was 1993, just imagine today!
