US Border Patrol had the audacity to separate another mother from her 2-year-old child merely for smuggling $157,500 worth of meth with her infant in the backseat of her car!
This is a travesty of justice and unbelievably cruel!
From US Customs and Border Patrol:
YUMA, Ariz. – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Wellton Station Interstate 8 Immigration Checkpoint arrested a Yuma resident for transporting 41 packages of methamphetamine in her vehicle Monday.Shame on the Border Patrol for breaking up another innocent family! We need to get this family reunited immediately! Families who smuggle together stay together!
At approximately 10:31 a.m., agents sent a green 2005 Chrysler Pacifica to the secondary inspection area for further investigation. A Border Patrol canine positively alerted to an odor it was trained to detect while agents questioned the 36-year-old female United States citizen driver. Agents discovered 41 wrapped packages of methamphetamine hidden in the vehicle’s rear quarter panels. The narcotics weighed approximately 52.5 pounds and is worth nearly $157,500. The driver’s 2-year-old child was in the backseat of the vehicle at the time. The child was released into the custody of a relative.
The driver was arrested, and the vehicle and contraband were seized.
From US Customs and Border Patrol:
YUMA, Ariz. – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Wellton Station Interstate 8 Immigration Checkpoint arrested three United States citizens in two separate drug smuggling events over the weekend.Shame on Blumpf and Border Patrol for breaking up innocent families! As Nancy Pelosi said, these drug smugglers have a SPARK OF DIVINITY inside them and they are who "make America great!"
The first event occurred Saturday at approximately 9:44 a.m. when a Border Patrol canine positively alerted to a white 2006 Acura TL in the primary inspection lane. A subsequent search of the vehicle yielded 30 packages of methamphetamine and two packages of cocaine behind the rear seat. The cocaine weighed 4.67 pounds, and the methamphetamine weighed 31.65 pounds for a combined total worth of nearly $148,000. The driver of the vehicle, a 33-year-old female from Yuma, had her three minor children of varying ages in the vehicle as well. The three children were released into the custody of a relative. The driver was arrested.
The second event occurred Sunday at approximately 7:11 a.m. after agents sent a gray 2006 Ford Fusion to the secondary inspection area after a Border Patrol canine positively alerted to an odor it was trained to detect. Agents searched the vehicle and discovered 90.5 grams of methamphetamine hidden under the carpet, two firearms in the glove compartment, and ammunition on the floorboard. Serial number checks conducted on both firearms revealed that one, a Colt .38 Special, was reported stolen out of San Bernardino, California. The driver and passenger, a 46-year-old male from Apache Junction and 41-year-old male from Whittier, California, were arrested. Records checks on the passenger revealed him to be a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history.
Both vehicles and all associated contraband were seized.
Obviously, the only solution is to get rid of ICE.
(yes, /sarc)
The fact that it is the Border Patrol doing this is a complete non-factor. Being a parent does not excuse you from punishment for committing crimes.

Separating the kid? That’s so cruel.
All must smuggle cause snuggle no longer is the norm ??
legalize it and tax the hell out of it
Willie Nelson has been busted with similar quantities of shrooms etc but apparently they were simply for personal use and not trafficking even in quantity
just ask her to consume her supply inside of 5 days and she’s free to go
Inhuman, does the UN Human Rights commission know about this practice?
Family values?
Abolish ICE Immediately!
A “relative” is somehow BETTER?????
Put the kids up for adoption so as to MAYBE have a chance at a better life.
The people bringing the kids in are seeking entry to the us and claiming parentage seems to be their ticket to sanctuary.
dna testing exposes their lie
Utterly disgusting, this young mother has the right to support her 2 year old, even if it means smuggling drugs. What a shame this poor child had to be separated from mommy. Shame on Trump and all those that support him.
(just exercising the left side of my brain, learning what it’s like to talk and feel completely stupid)
Madcow will probably bawl her eyes out over this one too.
Same as muzzies using children as human shields.
Send the smuggler to live with Pelosi, Schumer, or Madd Maxine.
You can hide it but can’t easily hide the smell from the dog..
