More than two dozen gang members, criminals arrested at border in just one week
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced its agents have arrested more than two dozen gang members and criminals attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border just this week alone. of the criminals, at least 21 are gang members, two are sex offenders, and three are immigrants with prior convictions.
One Salvadoran Tango Blast gang member with a prior conviction of aggravated robbery in the U.S. was arrested at the Rio Grande Valley sector.
Within 24 hours, agents intercepted a Salvadoran 18th Street gang member with a prior conviction for aggravated homicide. CBP agents near Sarita, Texas simultaneously encountered a Guatemalan who had an outstanding warrant in Houston for indecency with a child.
A Sureno gang member with prior convictions of battery and immigration offenses, and a Paisas gang member with a prior conviction for evading arrest, were also apprehended.
CBP also announced the arrests of 20 gang members from the 18th Street and MS-13 gangs. “In this fiscal year, CBP agents have arrested at least 627 gang members, a significant increase compared to 348 in the fiscal year 2021 and 363 in the fiscal year 2020, according to the agency’s data” reports The Foreign Desk.
Numbers in just the past two years show the uncontrollable crisis: “Border Patrol has intercepted at least 9,381 undocumented migrants with criminal convictions, compared to 10,763 last fiscal year and 2,438 in the fiscal year 2020.”
All migrant apprehensions have increased substantially. However, “those with and without criminal records, so far in this fiscal year already exceeds the total of the previous fiscal year and has set record-breaking numbers. Since October, more than 1.8 million individuals have attempted to cross the border, four times more than those who were intercepted at the border in 2020.”
It’s the details bleeding heart liberals fail to think about. Take New York City as a perfect example where the liberal city cannot welcome hundreds of thousands of migrants with open arms as it says the rest of the country should do.
Last week saracarter.com reported on how the Big Apple was turning a Brooklyn Cruise ship terminal into shelter for migrant families flooding into the city. That plan has already backfired.
More than 50 migrants camped outside the Watson Hotel in Manhattan in protest against the cruise terminal. On Sunday night over a dozen police officers responded to the hotel to provide crowd control.
One activist told the New York Post that the migrants feel the shelter is “not livable” after several migrants went to the Terminal shelter over the weekend but promptly returned to the hotel.
The migrants preferred to sleep outside the hotel saying that the shelter had no heat, privacy or blankets.
The migrants hung a banner demanding permanent free housing and to “cancel rent.”
A spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams said the city continues to “surpass our moral obligations” in caring for the influx of migrants.
“More than 42,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York City since last spring and we continue to surpass our moral obligations as we provide asylum seekers with shelter, food, health care, education, and a host of other services,” spokesperson Fabien Levy told the New York Post.
“The facilities at Brooklyn Cruise Terminal will provide the same services as every other humanitarian relief center in the city, and the scheduled relocations to Brooklyn Cruise Terminal this weekend took place as planned,” Levy added. “We remain in serious need of support from both our state and federal governments.”
