Agents assigned to MCS apprehended a group of 17 illegal migrants near Hidalgo.

The public is encouraged to take a stand against crime in their communities and report suspicious activity at 800-863-9382.

A total of 108 illegal migrants were taken into Border Patrol custody, including one identified caretaker.

Agents initiated a vehicle stop and discovered 27 undocumented individuals in the un-ventilated cargo area of the moving truck.

Upon opening of the cargo space there were 33 people who were close to perishing due to excessive heat and lack of fresh air in temperatures still hovering near 100 degrees.

Thirty-eight percent of encounters in May 2021 were individuals who had at least one prior encounter in the previous 12 months, compared to an average one-year re-encounter rate of 15 percent for Fiscal Years 2014-2019.

Agents discovered six illegal migrants concealed underneath the bed cover of a truck.

This alert provided agents an exact location which led them directly to the lost individual.

The rescue beacons have been deployed in areas that have the greatest impact on rescue efforts.

On one of the busiest days, June 4, CBP Officers at the Bridge of the Americas border crossing, had a total of four drug seizures.

The first enforcement action occurred at the Colombia Solidarity Bridge after CBP officers encountered a tractor manifesting a shipment of tables arriving from Mexico.

If CBP determines that a declared item is prohibited it can generally be abandoned without consequence.

This dangerous method of traveling further into the United States after illegal entry is strongly discouraged as it often results in serious injury or death.

The arrest occurred during the evening of June 2, when agents responded to a request.

After observing suspicious activity, LPD and agents conducted a consensual search of both residences that resulted in the discovery of 18 individuals.
