With AF1 wheels up, my staffing of the President’s trip to Houston is complete, along with my duties as US Attorney. @USAO_SDTX

[CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott @CBPCommissioner]

We mourn the loss of CBP Officer Carlos Mendoza. He began his @CBP career in 1999, and most recently served at the Hidalgo Port of Entry. We extend our deepest condolences to Officer Mendoza’s family, friends and colleagues. He will never be forgotten.

Stash house in Mission leads to arrest of 40 undocumented migrants https://t.co/xyrmxLRfre

[Former U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick @USAttyPatrick]

Good to see you today Senator and having a few minutes to talk. I'm grateful for your support fours years ago for this position. I remember sitting in your DC office as you asked what my vision for the office was.

[Senator John Cornyn @JohnCornyn]

Appreciate @FLOTUS joining the President in Houston today to help Texans recover from last week’s storms.

[Jared C. Ashby, Chief Patrol Agent @USBPChiefRGV]

RGV agents shut down a stash house with 40 illegal aliens. The harsh conditions of this location were unlike recent stash houses seen. The makeshift accommodations on the property include a shed and a small travel-trailer with no electricity.

@ktbenner I didn’t get to know John well, but his reputation was rock solid well before he became the US Attorney.

Good work

@JayTownAlabama @SecretService Run through the tape

[Former U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick @USAttyPatrick]

Today is my last day as US Attorney and it’s a busy day. With the President in town I’m supporting @SecretService like I do with all visits in the district.

[Chief Rosario “Pete” Vasquez @USBPChief]

Smugglers use dangerous and reckless methods with no regard for health and safety.

More than 20 people were packed in a small, enclosed space during this human smuggling attempt.

[Former U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick @USAttyPatrick]

That notice to appear could be very distant in the future.

[Former U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick @USAttyPatrick]

Mission is a major area for illegal crossings.
.Apprehension are up 650% in seven weeks! Now that Mexico is no longer taking back family units under Title 42 (quarantine rules) they will be processed and mostly released quickly with a notice to appear at an immigration court.

[Jared C. Ashby, Chief Patrol Agent @USBPChiefRGV]

Last night, RGV agents arrested a group of 130 illegal aliens in Mission, TX. In less than a 24 hour period, this area alone saw more than 500 illegal entries. The majority of the illegal entries consisted of families and unaccompanied alien children.

I've learned something in my three years as US Attorney...

Don't rob a bank.

Don’t do this people. We’ve had multiple prosecutions for it since I’ve been US Attorney.

As a pilot I know how stupid and dangerous it is.

[Laredo Sector Border Patrol @USBPChiefLRT]

Aiming a laser pointer at a law enforcement aircraft, air ambulance or a large commercial airliner is dangerous and can have fatal consequences. It's a federal crime punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and five-years imprisonment. #HonorFirst

[Former U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick @USAttyPatrick]

Typo with the @. Too close to the space bar.

[Former U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick @USAttyPatrick]

Border Patrol does a great job catching as many illegal@crossers as possible at the border.

And we have great help from local police, sheriffs and constables exposing these houses.

[CBS 4 News @cbs4rgv]

EXCLUSIVE: Stash house operations are happening every day across the #RGV @SydneyHdzTV got an exclusive look inside the investigations happening to make sure Border Patrol agents stop as many as possible.

I remember last year doing media interviews with our regional SS Inspector General and then I think the rodeo was canceled that day or the next.

They never aired...

What a difference a year makes.

[Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Joel Martinez @USBPDepChiefRGV]

Smugglers Float an All-Terrain Vehicle Across the Rio Grande.

With assistance from @CBPAMO, agents arrest 6 illegal aliens in Harlingen, TX, using a retrofitted ATV in their smuggling attempt. Modifications to the ATV also suggest a dual use for drug smuggling.

[Laredo Field Office @DFOLaredo]

Port of Rio Grande City seized 146 pounds of cocaine, valued at $1.1 million. Our inspectional techniques and technology continue to prove beneficial in our efforts to intercept dangerous drugs. Seizures like this underscore the important role that #CBP plays in border security.
