Another great endorsement for Eagle Pass City Councilman - Elias Diaz!!

Health and safety are at the core of my service to this city. During my first campaign, the firefighter union became my first endorsement, but they also became central to the way that understood the health of our city. The firefighters are not only my friends... they have become family. I am honored to set up the foundation for my second campaign with their endorsement.

Carrizo Springs Border Patrol Agents Arrest Previously Deported ‘Carpet Walker’

DEL RIO, TX – Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector recently arrested three individuals attempting to illegally enter the United States near Carrizo Springs, Texas.

On February 27, agents responded to an alert from CBP Air and Marine Operations, which detected three individuals walking on a local ranch.

Agents searched the area and, using tracking techniques, located the group. All three men had carpet attached to the soles of their shoes, a known tactic used to disguise their footprints and avoid detection.

“Illegal aliens will go to great lengths to try to conceal their entry into the country,” said Del Rio Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Milton Moreno. “Our agents are highly trained in tracking methods that regularly foil these attempts.”

The group was transported to the Carrizo Springs Border Patrol Station, where one individual, Refugio Juarez-Argote, 30, of Mexico, was identified as previously deported in 2013. He now faces charges under 8 USC § 1326 – reentry after deportation.

The U.S. Border Patrol continues to monitor and secure border regions, preventing illegal crossings, human smuggling, and drug trafficking. Authorities urge the public to report suspicious activity by calling 911 or Del Rio Sector Border Patrol at (830) 778-7000.

Agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza de Carrizo Springs Arrestan a ‘Caminante con Alfombra’ Deportado Anteriormente

DEL RIO, TX – Agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza del Sector Del Río arrestaron recientemente a tres individuos que intentaban ingresar ilegalmente a Estados Unidos cerca de Carrizo Springs, Texas.

El 27 de febrero, los agentes respondieron a una alerta de Operaciones Aéreas y Marinas de CBP, que detectó a tres individuos caminando en un rancho local. Tras una búsqueda en el área y utilizando técnicas de rastreo, los agentes localizaron al grupo. Los tres hombres tenían alfombra adherida a las suelas de sus zapatos, una táctica utilizada para disfrazar sus huellas y evitar ser detectados.

“Los inmigrantes ilegales hacen todo lo posible para ocultar su entrada al país”, dijo Milton Moreno, Jefe Interino de la Patrulla Fronteriza del Sector Del Río. “Nuestros agentes están altamente capacitados en técnicas de rastreo que regularmente frustran estos intentos.”

El grupo fue trasladado a la Estación de la Patrulla Fronteriza de Carrizo Springs, donde uno de los individuos, Refugio Juárez-Argote, de 30 años y originario de México, fue identificado como deportado previamente en 2013. Ahora enfrenta cargos bajo el 8 USC § 1326 – reingreso después de la deportación.

La Patrulla Fronteriza de EE.UU. continúa monitoreando y asegurando las regiones fronterizas, evitando cruces ilegales, tráfico de personas y narcotráfico. Las autoridades instan al público a reportar cualquier actividad sospechosa llamando al 911 o al Sector Del Río de la Patrulla Fronteriza al (830) 778-7000.
