Activities within the past 48 hours in the Tucson Sector.

Arrests

Agents assigned to the Casa Grande Border Patrol Station were processing an illegal alien Wednesday when they noticed tattoos showing affiliation to the Sureño 13 gang. The subject admitted to a former affiliation. He was held for further processing.

Agents assigned to the Tucson Station arrested an illegal alien Thursday who has a prior conviction for “Lewd or Lascivious Battery upon a Minor” in Florida. Agents discovered the conviction while processing the subject with the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. The man was held for prosecution.

Seizures

Agents assigned to the Nogales Station’s Interstate 19 checkpoint, aided by a canine unit, found 12 bundles of marijuana Wednesday, hidden in a false compartment of a pickup truck. The marijuana is valued at almost $25,000. Agents seized the marijuana and truck. The driver was held for prosecution.

Rescues and Recoveries

An agent from Tucson Sector Radio Dispatch relayed information from a caller Wednesday who said she and a companion were lost. Agents responded to the area and found the subjects. Both individuals, in the country illegally, were held for processing.

While agents assigned to the Casa Grande Station and the Border Patrol’s BORSTAR units were searching for illegal aliens, they located a deceased male. It was determined there was no connection between the deceased and the group that agents apprehended. A detective from the Tohono O’odham Police Department recovered the body.

To report illegal activity and remain anonymous, call 1-877-USBP-HELP.

The round-up of illegal aliens should be nationwide.

Thanks for the ping, HiJinx and thanks for taking the time to post these stories, Sand Rat.

About that # 1-877-USBP-HELP...I haven’t called it but isn’t that too many digits? After the area code there are 8 digits.
