U.S Customs and Border Protection–Laredo Office is cautioning the public about a “significant amount of immigration law violations throughout South Texas ports of entry” and warning potential traffickers of people and drugs about the “serious legal consequences for criminal violations of immigration law.”

The warning comes as a record more than 2 million people have illegally entered the U.S. and been apprehended at the southern border and as the Biden administration continues to release a record number of people into the U.S. instead of deporting them.
