Part 11/12:
Roving gangs have become a persistent threat, exploiting record-breaking migrant flows. Since October 2023, over 890,000 illegal entries have been apprehended, with an additional 120,000 migrants believed to have evaded capture. Criminal organizations, including violent gangs like MS-13 and the Venezuelan "Trender," actively target migrants, complicating border enforcement efforts.
Law Enforcement Response
The elite Tactical Unit of the US Border Patrol responded swiftly, neutralizing the suspect who was engaged in criminal activities targeting migrants. Jason Owens, chief of Border Patrol, emphasized that these incidents exemplify the severe dangers posed by transnational criminals operating along the border.
