This might be off the area, but does anyone know what went down to have the Mexican Fed come in a fire all the border agents, in particular I know this happened at the Lukeville crossing, we went in on Thursday and when we came out we say all the “regular border agents” gone replaced with the mexican fed (I maybe wrong it was that group but they were miltary attire with rifles), then some said on arizona news a big crack down

Buenos dias, Michel,

I’d love to see more stories about the corruption on the U.S. side. A lot of people mistakenly think that the ratas are all on this (south) side of the border. Time to paint a more accurate picture.

Gracias!

Sorry, my copy attempt from “The Gate” about the “car service” was blocked for some odd reason.

You can read it there.

Carmine asks: “Drift, how do they cordinate the push of a car throguh the port? With the agents shifting lanes and booth’s, and the wait times, that seems like a feat in itself right there.”

I have the same question. But apparently there is a coordinated operation that makes it possible, maybe even easy.

Here’s a repeat of an account of a regular “car service” for migrants from Nogales to Phoenix I published here a while back. (I’ve discussed it with friends with ties to CBP and they find it not the least bit surprising.

or in the case of the mexicali-calexico port of entrance, the guys on the second floor of the ins offices, they have perfect view of the incoming traffic, plus they might know who is gonna be in which booth and at what time.
