EDINBURG, Texas – Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol (RGV) agents disrupted three human smuggling events resulting in 281 arrests.

On September 15, Rio Grande City Border Patrol Station (RGC) agents responded to a call for assistance from Starr County Sheriff’s Office investigators at a residence in Garceno suspected of harboring migrants. Agents and deputies apprehended ten migrants from Mexico and Central America unlawfully present in the U.S. Additionally, a bundle of marijuana weighing 16 pounds was seized by deputies at the residence.
