UPDATED - Illegals Wearing USMC Uniforms Caught in Allegedly Stolen Van with Gov't Plates

[Tammy8]

About a week before the authors of a Center for a New American Security (CNAS) report warned that the most dangerous threat to the United States and its allies in the Western Hemisphere is the growth of powerful transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), the Marine Corps Operations Center received a disturbing OPREP-3 from the Marine Corps Air Station at Yuma, Ariz.

It was a situation report that counter-cartel authorities told Homeland Security Today could represent a troublesome new development in the smuggling of illegals into the US.

An OPREP-3 is an advisory on a specific significant event that is required to be issued to the highest levels of command.

And this OPREP-3 was certainly significant. It alerted that on March 11, 11 undocumented aliens who’d managed to enter the US from Mexico had been caught wearing US Marine Corps Marine Pattern (MARPAT) desert digital Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs).

But more troubling than that, when they were stopped by alert Border Patrol agents near Campo, Calif., the 11 illegals and the three US citizens (who were wearing Marine woodland digital BDUs) traveling with them were driving an allegedly stolen vehicle with altered US Government license plates.

Stolen uniform and gummit plate this time, maybe forged next time.

I am thinking this may have been the ruse vehicle and the other vehicles (plural perhaps) made it in, and were carrying God only knows what. May I be wrong. This is my opinion only. The part about being wrong is where I do pray I am wrong.

[crusty old prospector]

For the 3/5’ers.

You don’t even need to be a paranoid conspiracy theorist to imagine the trouble this group could have caused!

I certainly hope this crew is CLOSELY interrogated ... and I’d like the questioning to be done by real Marines.

I’m sure Gibbs and NCIS could get to the bottom of this little adventure!

Only legalization of drugs will stop these criminals.

Volstead Act - ‘member that attempt at allowing goobers in gooberment agencies to do what the Federal govt. was never intended to do?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Waterboard them, torture them, find out what they were doing, then shoot them and dump them in a landfill.

[elpadre]

did the government know the vehicle was stolen, and if not, why??

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[Kenny Bunk]

....dump them in a landfill.

EPA violation. Dump'em in Mexico.

[Crucial]

Glaring example of why our porous border is a national security disaster...

[SwinneySwitch]

BTTT!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Tammy8.

Shouldn’t they be deployed in Libya? And left there?

[TheOldLady]

Well that’s just ducky, innit.

Lotsa time going to be wasted checking our own guys all the time to find the clones.

That was probably the point.

[Dante3]

I searched google but could not find the names of the American citizens arrested and if they are still in jail. Does anyone know their names?

[Tammy8]

Three of the defendants ---- Arturo Leyva Jr., who was the alleged driver; Jose Guadalupe Ceja Jr., the front-seat passenger; and Guadalupe Garcia Jr., who was driving a different car ---- are U.S. citizens, according to authorities.

This is from an article I read today- sorry I didn't get a link but it is posted here on FR. Most media is not giving out their names and I am not sure why. Well I can guess...

[Dante3]

Thanks.
