During a vehicle stop, #ElCentro Sector arrested a subject for bulk cash smuggling. He had $26,875 from illicit activities and marijuana vape pens. He was also in possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

On #NationalDogDay, we want to show appreciation to these 2 K9s. Arthur (L) is retiring after 15 months helping to relieve stress for our agents, staff, & their families. Arthur was the first support dog at our sector. Syble (R), our new support K9, is taking over Arthur’s role.

#ElCentro agent & K9 assisted CBP San Diego at the Calexico Port of Entry, seizing over 146 lbs. of meth. Often BP works w/ officers at the port (Office of Field Operations) to disrupt smuggling operations. In this case, we prevented $263K of dangerous drugs from entering the US.

If they run, they may be involved in illegal activity. #Indio agents attempted a traffic stop. Instead of yielding, the driver led agents on a pursuit that ended in a crash into guard rails. Maybe he didn’t stop because he was hiding 2 lbs. of highly dangerous fentanyl?

#ElCentro, w/ CBP AMO assist, arrested 19 subjects at a stash house. 1 smuggler is a criminal who served time for 2nd degree murder. Criminals who think they can come here & break the law find out the hard way that we deliver consequences. Nearly half of this load went to jail.

Smugglers often put migrants in precarious situations for which they are not prepared. Recently, a woman was injured after being coaxed to climb the border wall without safety measures. #ElCentro agents, who are well trained to render medical assistance, stabilized the woman.

El Centro Sector honors the contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. Happy Labor Day from the Premier Sector! #BorderPatrol #CBP #DHS #LaborDay #LaborDay2024 #LaborDayWeekend

This blows! Thanks to a K9 alert, agents at the Highway 86 immigration checkpoint found 2.5 lbs. of cocaine under the rear passenger seat. Subject & cocaine were turned over to DEA. FY24 to date, the #ElCentro Sector has seized approximately $3 million worth of cocaine.

The #PremierSector & U.S. Marshals Service led a multi-agency operation resulting in these 2 dangerous U.S. citizen criminals being deported from Mexico back to the U.S. One was on the run after committing homicide; the other was wanted for felony child endangerment causing death.

#ElCentro Sector and ERO Salt Lake City arrested a Colombian national in Utah. This criminal had entered the U.S. illegally and was convicted and sentenced to prison in Colombia for extortion. Subject is in ICE custody. #Shaned

#ElCentro Sector & ERO San Diego arrested a Colombian criminal in NJ who was sentenced to 35 yrs for aggravated homicide As this murderer learned, the #PremierSector tracks down dangerous foreign nationals far from the border, even after they think they’ve beat the system #Shaned

In honor of the brave and heroic first responders on 9-11-01. We will never forget the ultimate sacrifice they made to save lives. #September11 #TwinTowers #NeverForget911

In our small border community, we stood united, stronger together, to honor the lives tragically lost on September 11, 2001. In rememberance, we find strength, resiliance, and a shared purpose to never forget. Chief Jason Owens Port Director of Calexico Port of Entry #neverforget #USBP #CalexicoOFO

A human smuggler picked up 3 illegal migrants & was arrested after a pursuit. The smuggler is in the US illegally. Approx. 70% of migrants who entered illegally into #ElCentro Sector seek asylum. The #PremierSector delivers consequences to anyone committing crimes here.

Our Mountain Disrupt Unit (MDU) is specially trained to navigate rough terrain & perform lifesaving actions. MDU agents located 2 lost subjects in the mountains. One subject was drifting in & out of consciousness & needed medical assistance. BORSTAR administered medical aid.

This was an expensive game of hide & seek! During a vehicle stop, inquisitive & thorough #Indio agents discovered more than $18k concealed within the car. The cash was profit from illicit activities & both occupants of the vehicle were present in the U.S. illegally.
