ICE Crackdown on Cartel Tactics & Workplace Illegal Immigration

Border Enforcement and Cartel Tactics

• 🎯 Texas CPS and Border Patrol are tracking individuals who have illegally crossed the border using ladders and cartel guides.
• 💡 A common evasion technique involves hiding and disabling phones to prevent communication with guides.
• ⚠️ Cartels are increasingly using juveniles as human smugglers because they are harder to prosecute on a federal level.
• 🚨 Texas DPS is stepping in to charge these juvenile smugglers with felonies on a state level, making prosecution easier.

Workplace Immigration Enforcement

• 📈 This operation was described as the largest workplace enforcement operation in Nebraska for DHS since Trump took office.
• 🤝 The company's owner, Gary Roar, expressed shock and frustration, believing he had followed all verification procedures and highlighting a lack of awareness about potential visa programs.
