Photo: Bob Price/Breitbart Texas U.S. Border Patrol officials closed all highway immigration checkpoints operating in the Laredo Sector on Friday evening in response to the Haitian migrant crisis unfolding in Del Rio, Texas, according to a source within Customs and Border Protection. The Laredo Sector operates six permanent checkpoints including one of the busiest checkpoints in the nation located on the I-35 Interstate corridor between Laredo and San Antonio.
Laredo Sector Border Patrol highway checkpoints inspect thousands of vehicles daily. Staffing normally reserved for the inspections that result in the seizure of countless migrants and illicit narcotics will be diverted to assist with the care, transport, and processing of more than 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants detained under the Del Rio International Bridge.
According to the source, who is not authorized to speak to the media, the shutdown began late Friday afternoon. Border Patrol agents normally assigned to the checkpoints are headed to assist with the thousands of mostly Haitian migrants being detained at the encampment there.
The immigration checkpoints are the last line of defense for the Border Patrol and an integral part of their national security strategy.
In addition to a brief citizenship inspection at the checkpoints, the Border Patrol deploys canines trained to detect concealed humans and narcotics. Non-Intrusive backscatter x-ray inspections of vehicles are used to scan for concealed humans and narcotics as well. Radiation detection equipment is used to look for radioactive materials and is critical to the United States’ national security interests.
In all, Border Patrol completely closed six Laredo Sector checkpoints to augment Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents. According to the source, the I-35 Border Patrol checkpoint screens more than 6,000 passenger vehicles, and more than 4,000 commercial tractor-trailer trucks that transit through the checkpoint daily. As reported by Breitbart Texas, the checkpoints have seen an increase in the interdiction of narcotics smuggling and in dangerous large volume human trafficking attempts using commercial vehicles.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
