    Sheriff Displays Photos, Says Mexican Official Captured In U

    Sara Morris-KFOX News Reporter

    KFOX first reported on Wednesday night that Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West said his deputies caught a Mexican customs officer driving around one of the county roads at 9 p.m. last Sunday night.

    "His official documentation saying that he is an officer. We called his comandante in Juarez that night, and the comandante verified that he was actually a Mexico customs officer. He didn't know why he was on the American side obviously, but he did verify," West said.

    West said he has pictures that show the man's uniform and the SUV he was driving, without any license plates.

    The officer allegedly told deputies that he was driving to work, which is at the Mexican port of entry across from Fort Hancock.

    But, West said he researched the man's U.S. border crossing card and it showed he crossed two days earlier.

    "It only takes forty-five minutes to an hour, that's all that it should have taken for him. It doesn't take two days from the free bridge in El Paso, Texas, to Esperanza overpass. You could walk it in less than a day," West said.

    But, what disturbed West the most, is that he said officials found a Global Positioning System inside the officer's car.

    "I believe that he was verifying the modes of travel for narcotics to be coming in the United States. He was approximately 12 to 15 miles from the road going into the border to get to the crossing," West said.

    West said his pictures are proof that Mexican officials are crossing over the border without any official business to be here.

    "Here is a prime example of a Mexican official coming over here and doing things like facilitating illegal activities without any recourse or any kind of action taken against him," West said.

    He said this is something that he and other border sheriffs have been telling the U.S. government for years.

    "I don't know what else we need to do to prove to the American government this stuff is happening and it's happening on a regular basis," West said.

    KFOX spoke to the Mexican Consulate about this several times Thursday, and it decided that it couldn't make a comment at this time.

    had_enuf,
    By now we know what the Mexican government is going to say about this;
    “This is a smuggler posing as a Mexican official”
    And our good friends in Washington are going to say “Sorry for the inconvenience, our mistake”

    The craziest part is they turned him over to Border Patrol, and they JUST DROPPED THIS GUY OFF AT THE BORDER. Gee, do you think he might come back another day? Dadgumit, what do we have to do to see some real justice here? This guy was OBVIOUSLY up to no good, yet he faces no tribunal. It's a travesty!!!!
