Sara Carter spoke with Fox News host Sean Hannity on ‘Hannity‘ Wednesday about the Sinaloa Cartel from an area on the Arizona-Mexico border that has become notorious for illegal crossings and smuggling operations.

Carter, speaking to Hannity from the border near Sasabe, Arizona, explained why there has been an exponential increase in narcotics trafficking near the Arizona-Mexico border.

“Border patrol agents in Arizona and the Border Patrol union are warning this is a serious crisis,” Carter said. “Here, there is an exponential increase in narcotics trafficking. What’s happening here is we have an enormous drug war on the other side of the border. [The] Sinaloa Cartel controls this area in Sasabe, Arizona, which borders Sasabe, Mexico.”

Carter then went on to explain that Border Patrol officers are spread too thin due to the influx of minors illegally crossing the border into the U.S and President Biden’s order to halt the border wall construction has increased narcotics trafficking in these areas.

“There’s a lot of concern that while our Border Patrol agents are spread so thin dealing with young people… the drug cartels are using the open spaces, because the Biden administration basically halted the continuation of the border wall, they’re using those open spaces to bring those drugs in.”

Migrants sick of waiting, surge border after judge temporarily blocks Biden from revoking Title 42

Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted recently, on May 17, that agents under his command apprehended 2,849 migrants last weekend. However, as migrants no longer want to wait for Title 42 to end, they have surged the border.

In a Breitbart exclusive, the media outlet reported the “number will be eclipsed as it appears the total could approach 4,000 this weekend.” Unfortunately, “the migrants did not appear to know or understand that the Title 42 will not end on Monday due to a federal court order. They expressed they were simply tired of waiting” the report adds.

Between April 1^st and May 15 of this year, approximately 513,000 migrants illegally crossed the southern border.

On Friday, Louisiana Judge Robert Summerhays issued a preliminary injunction, and ordered to temporarily block the Biden Administration from revoking Title 42.

Breitbart notes “whether Title 42 ends or not, migrants say they are tired of waiting and surged across the Rio Grande into the Eagle Pass, Texas, area of operations. As many as 3,600 crossed so far this weekend — eclipsing last weekend’s total of just over 2,800 migrant apprehensions in the Del Rio Sector — according to a source operating within U.S. Customs and Border Protection.”

In just a couple of hours on Sunday evening, agents apprehended more than 700 migrants. Agents identified majority of the migrants as Honduran nationals, and some as Colombian.

One source told Breitbart resources were not available to transport migrants from the border to the processing station. It also appears the NGOs who regularly shelter the migrants are overloaded as migrants are reportedly being dropped off at an Eagle Pass Stripes convenience store.

“The crossings are not without danger. On Saturday, seven migrants were swept off their feet in the middle of the night forcing Border Patrol agents to jump into action to save their lives” Breitbart Texas reported. Those seven were lucky, whereas the bodies of three migrants were recovered at the Del Rio Sector.
