Marines Uncover U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Conspiracy

United States Marines on assignment in Eagle Pass, Texas, arrested two CBP agents and three illegal aliens involved in a “bribe for entry into the U.S.” operation Monday afternoon, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.

As reported previously, White Hats, with Gov. Abbott’s blessing, have dispatched Marines to the southern border to shore up defenses against federal encroachment.

The Marine Expeditionary Force has helped the Texas Military Department lay concertina wire and protect American citizens and their property from illegal aliens and corrupt feds.

At approximately 5:00 p.m. Monday, a Marine reconnaissance patrol near Shelby Park observed three roped-together men wading across the Rio Grande.

As the trio reached the U.S. side of the riverbank, a CBP vehicle came speeding along a dirt road alongside the river and screeched to a halt exactly where the would-be illegals would enter the U.S.—through a hole in a dilapidated stretch of fence wire.

Our source said the Marines expected CBP to repel the invaders and force them back across the river. But something unexpected transpired.

Observing at a distance through binoculars, the Marines watched two CBP agents exit their vehicle and approach the trio of sopping-wet illegals.

The two groups stood meters apart, gazing at one another for several minutes before one of the illegals raised his soaked shirt above his abdomen to reveal a Ziplock bag filled with cash taped to his torso.

A CBP agent snatched and opened the bulging bag, then counted the money. He was counting for quite a while, our source said.

Apparently satisfied, the CBP agents tossed the cash in their vehicle, then handed the illegals three elastic, blue bracelets, which they placed on their wrists.

The Marines suspected criminality and quietly flanked both groups, confronting them with weapons drawn and commanding everyone to drop to their knees.

They disarmed and zip-tied the wrists of the CBP agents and the illegals, separating the groups. A Marine who spoke Spanish questioned the illegals, while the highest-ranking Marine, a lieutenant, interrogated the CBP agents, who at first refused to answer questions.

One of the illegals, who had no identification but said his name was Hector Gonzalas, told the Marine who spoke Spanish that he and his friends were Guatemalan refugees seeking political asylum in the United States and said a coyote on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande had, after taking his cut of the cash, instructed them to meet and pay “friendly American border agents” across the river.

The bracelets, he claimed, served as proof they had paid their entry fee, in case other CBP agents tried shaking them down.

The Marines then sweated the CPB agents, reportedly roughing them up a little. Although one stayed silent, the other caved and affirmed the illegal’s story, saying that CBP agents accepting bribes for entry was pervasive within the agency.

His story sketched a sprawling conspiracy and breathtaking level of corruption, describing how CBP’s upper echelons conspired with the cartels, solicited and took bribes, formed alliances with human smugglers, and created companies to launder money.

As he blabbed, his partner urged him to shut his mouth, saying he’d kill him for betraying the operation.

Rather than report the incident to CBP or even the Texas Military Department, the Marines brought the agents and the illegals to a safe house several miles north of Eagle Pass, our source said.

“They’re all held in custody while we’re sorting this out. There’s a lot to unpack here. We’ve been on good terms with CBP for the most part; most of these guys are tired, worn out, and hate the open borders as much as everyone else does. Now we have to investigate this crap, and if it’s all true, they’ll be hell to pay. Right now, we don’t know if we have the whole story, or what we’ve been told is true, but we’ll be finding out. Those Guatemalans had $12,000 U.S. cash. That’s a hell of a lot of money. Coyotes don’t typically let their ‘clients’ cross with much at all,” our source said.

Note:

I am absolutely certain someone in the comments will write that I’ve included details that could comprise further White Hat operations. To be perfectly clear, I submitted this article as is to Gen. Smith’s office before publication, to be sure it didn’t include details they don’t want publicized. I was told, “Go ahead. Run it. If it flushes out the traitors, all the better.”
