Borderland Tweets

Ed. note: Every week, on an almost daily basis, the U.S. Border Patrol’s RGV sector chief, Manuel Padilla, Jr., with 34 years of service, logs on to his Twitter account to release news of what his agents and those assigned to other local law enforcement agencies are doing with regard to safeguarding the border.

From some of Padilla’s latest tweets (edited for brevity) posted between Dec. 6 and Dec. 10:

• U.S. Border Patrol agents disrupted 12 separate narcotic smuggling attempts and seized nearly two tons of marijuana over the weekend in the RGV.

• Border Patrol agents in the RGV continue to encounter large groups of family units and unaccompanied children along the Rio Grande (River).

• Border Patrol agents from the Fort Brown and McAllen stations arrest two sex offenders and a gang member in separate incidents in the RGV.
