Border Patrol agents in the Laredo Sector arrested a group of Central American migrants after receiving a call for assistance from local police officers. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Laredo South Station received a call from the Laredo Police Departments regarding a possible group of illegal aliens they encounter in a home near Slaughter Park. The agents responded to the location in south Laredo and found ten migrants who were detained by the local police, according to information obtained by Breitbart News from Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials.
The agents conducted an immigration interview with the ten migrants and learned they were all illegally present in the U.S. The agents identified the migrants as having traveled to the U.S. from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, officials stated.
Slaughter Park is located on Laredo’s south side just north of the Rio Grande River that separates Laredo, Texas, from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Border Patrol officials previously told Breitbart News that this is an area known for illegal border crossing activity.
During Fiscal Year 2018, Laredo Sector agents apprehended a total of 32,641 illegal aliens who crossed the border between ports of entry, according to the year-end Southwest Border Migration Report. This represents the third largest number of apprehensions of the nine southwestern border sectors.
Of those 32,641 migrants, 2,879 were unaccompanied minors and 597 were Family Unit Aliens, officials reported.
The Laredo Sector also led the nation in the apprehension of Bangladeshi nationals who were smuggled into the U.S. after they paid Mexican cartels to bring them across the border. The sector witnessed a 270 percent increase in the number of Bangladeshi nationals arrested during the fiscal year that ended on September 30.

Thank you! Lots and lots of concertina wire, I’ve seen some photos.
It’s happening.

I like their positioning of it. Hopefully the brush is on the south side. Imagine running through that brush in your last sprint to “freedom” and ...bam!
Concertina razor wire is positioned/set and woven in such a way you're going to get cut and stuck in it....it cuts all ways
All those guys have their 9mm stuffed in their cargo pants - right?
Good, sure does look pretty to me.
Can’t concertina wire be easily cut with wire cutters?
I think that the wire is more of a “slow them down” barrier that needs to be augmented with folks watching and patrolling all the time.
What will keep someone from lifting up the wire with plywood or something and going under? Is it anchored into the ground?
I assume the US military knows what to do, they probably aren’t finished yet, plus have other means as mentioned above. I seriously doubt they’re going to do a haffast job.
I don’t think there are enough troops for that. Also, there are tunnels people use to go under the border.
From some military engineering manual on the net (so yes, wire by itself won’t do much):
“FOCDPIG” Regardless of the type of defense employed by the tactical commander, the seven basic employment principles for reinforcing obstacles are that reinforcing obstacles are:
F: Covered by Fire. The principal purpose of integrating obstacle location with fire is to enhance the effectiveness of these fires. With rare exceptions, obstacles that are not covered by fire are little more than a nuisance to the enemy.
O: Observed. It is imperative that all reinforcing obstacles are observed in order to maximize the use of available indirect fires on the enemy. In addition, obstacles should be placed in order to maximize the max effective range of various heavy, medium, and light direct fire weapons systems.
C: Concealed and employed for surprise. By varying the type, design, and location of the obstacle plan, the enemy’s understanding of our defensive scheme is made more difficult.
D:Employed in Depth. A series of simple obstacles arranged one behind the other along a probable axis of enemy advance is far more effective than one large, elaborate obstacle and forces the enemy to quickly attrite his organic engineering assets.
P: Protected by early warning and anti-handling devices. Incorporating these assets into reinforcing obstacles amplify detection of the enemy especially during times of little or no visibility.
I: Integrated with existing and other reinforcing obstacles that cannot be easily bypassed. It must support the maneuver commander’s plan. Reinforcing obstacles that do not accomplish one or more of the basic purposes of obstacles are of little value. Reinforcing obstacles must be planned and employed to support the tactical plan
G: Non-Geometric. By breaking up the outline of the obstacles/defense, the enemy is in the engagement area before he realizes it. This puts the enemy into a dilemma and makes him show his flank or belly.
My search on the net is for the military use of barriers.
Concertina wire has other purposes when it comes to politics, the media, and hopefully as a visible sign to the horde of “migrants” that we are serious about our border.
Anything is better than nothing, but they should use this:
Goggle the wire and you’ll see why.
Yes.......and it does work to do just that. I saw plenty of people in Europe trying to get thru it.....kids get their hair caught in it so the kid ends up the barrier the rest can’t get past. etc. etc.
I thought the heavy duty wire was to stop vehicles ...
I worked at a facility surrounded by a fence topped with three strands of inward leaning razor wire.
For anyone in reasonably good shape, it wasn’t a deterrent.
They would just toss a heavy jacket or something similar over it and vamoose.
“We have enough concertina wire to cover up to 22 miles already deployed to the border. We have additional concertina wire that we can string, with over 150 miles available. Additionally, looking at where the reinforcers are needed so we can get it exactly where CBP wants us to put it,” O’Shaughnessy said.
