What's next for the alleged cartel scouts, others?

According to a press release, all five men are recorded for “further processing” at the Patrolouillen station Casa Grande. Three of the men are subject to charges in connection with human smuggling and conspiracy in smuggling activity.

The US law firm for the Arizona district was actively involved in these cases.

“The US law firm's US law firm was a valuable partner in our efforts to secure the border,” said chief policeman Sean McGoffin from the Tucson sector in the press release. “Taking the eyes and ears of the smugglers makes it more difficult to move people and smuggling goods, and make it safer for agents and communities on both sides of the international border.”

Based on one of President Donald Trump at the end of January, Cártel de Sinaloa, and those signed in the willingness to belong are considered “foreign terrorist organizations”.

CBP officials recently arrested an American man near Douglas, who tried to smuggle a Mexican migrant without papers.
