Inland border patrol checkpoints vital for stemming the tide of drugs and illegal migrants into the country have been closed for months as officers are diverted to admin duties, sources told The Post.
The checkpoints are stationed 25 to 100 miles north of the US-Mexico border and act as a second line of defense. Sources explained how once people smugglers or drug runners make it past the international border they start to let their guard slip and an extra checkpoint can often catch them out.
Drugs are flowing through Arizona. In October 2022, an Arizona Department of Public Safety traffic stop yielded a haul of 52 pounds of suspected fentanyl pills and 16 pounds of suspected fentanyl powder, which had been smuggled from Mexico. The state’s Nogales border crossing reported earlier in January it had already seized more fentanyl in the last three months than the whole of the previous financial year.
The inland checkpoints are also good for trapping migrants who have slipped over the border and are attempting to make their way further into the US in private cars or on commercial buses.
The Border Patrol agency has been understaffed for years — a problem exacerbated by the on-going border crisis, which has seen at least two million people flood into the country throughout 2022, creating mountains of paperwork and diverting officers to the front lines.

I hope everyone Katty Hobbs loves dies from the stuff.
Soros and his Cartel spent millions to keep Hobbs as Governor, and bribing many to win the election, now they can operate with impunity in trafficking Fentynal.
Yep.
AFAIAC, inland checkpoints should be eliminated. Put entry checkpoints at the entry to USA.
But yes on trying to stop the dangerous drugs. There are so many zombies on the streets already.
These are unconstitutional checkpoints where Americans get abused every day.
Does Hobbs take her cut at those checkpoints?
I think that’s kind of the plan so it doesn’t slow the trucks down on their way to disturbing the libtard candy all over the US
Glad it’s not me
Distributing all,over especially homeless
Like this is being done on PURPOSE
Seems obvious
Note to the Public. The closures due to the CIA and FBI noticing a distinct drop in their revenue from drugs, child sex trafficking and human slave trading. Inspector will be returned to duty when profit levels return to normal. The Public’s patience is requested during this difficult time.
My little town (55,000) is 90 miles from the border. 🤬
