US authorities battling Mexican Cartel smuggling operations along the Texas Border are increasingly arresting "Cartel Kids" - Mexican teens guiding illegal aliens or smuggling drugs across the Rio Grande. The 15 and 16-year-olds in the photo above were arrested by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers and US Border Patrol Agents after helping five migrants illegally cross into the state. All of the illegal aliens they were smuggling were wearing wristbands signifying payment to the Mexican Cartel the teens were working for.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to install more floating barriers to prevent illegal crossings of the Rio Grande, far downstream from the barrier installed by the State of Texas near Eagle Pass in 2023.

June has been a costly month so far for Mexican cartels attempting to smuggle cash and drugs across the Texas border. This week US authorities have reported seizing more than $1.7 million dollars worth of Cartel Cash and more than $15 million dollars worth of Mexican meth and cocaine.

The US Coast Guard continues to apprehend Mexican Cartel boat crews off the Texas coast illegally fishing in US waters. The boats - called lanches - catch hundreds of pounds of highly-prized Red Snapper for the Gulf Cartel (because the Red Snapper population off Mexico has been depleted by overfishing)
