Laredo Sector Border Patrol Shuts Down Stash House with Joint Law Enforcement Cooperation




Release Date: March 3, 2021



LAREDO, Texas – Laredo Sector Border Patrol and Webb County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) shut down a stash house in east Laredo.

The incident occurred during the late afternoon of March 2, when agents assigned to the Laredo South Station were advised by WCSO deputies they would be conducting a welfare check at a residence on North India Avenue after reports of suspicious activity possibly involving narcotics were made to their office. WCSO and agents approached the residence and encountered 24 occupants.

An immigration inspection of the individuals revealed that they are illegally in the United States and from the countries of Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras.

None of the individuals were wearing any personal protective equipment (PPE). All of the individuals were medically screened and taken into custody pending investigation.

Despite a noted increase in COVID-19 infections among detainees, the smuggling and housing of large groups of individuals in stash houses without PPE not only endangers the people being smuggled, but the safety of our Nation.

The Laredo Sector is made up of agents who partner with their law enforcement counterparts to meet the agency’s Enduring Mission Priorities of countering terrorism, combatting transnational crime, securing the border, and facilitating lawful trade and travel while protecting revenue.

They need to be handed over to their Embassy or Consulate for processing and immediate deportation. We are not their travel agent to send them back!

Firefighters need to do training exercises to burn down these stash houses so they are never used again. Bulldoze them and clean up these neighborhoods of this filth and crime!
