U.S. Border Patrol is warning rideshare drivers in the El Paso Sector, which includes parts of West Texas and all of New Mexico, about criminal organizations using rideshare apps to facilitate alleged human smuggling operations. According to Border Patrol officials, transnational criminal organizations may attempt to recruit or unknowingly involve drivers in transporting individuals who are in the country illegally. Agents are urging drivers to recognize potential warning signs and avoid becoming involved in activities that could carry serious legal consequences or create dangerous situations. The warning highlights the evolving tactics used by human smuggling networks and the ongoing challenges facing border security, public safety, and law enforcement. Officials say increased awareness can help protect drivers while disrupting criminal operations operating along the southern border. #BorderPatrol #BorderSecurity #Texas #HumanSmuggling #Uber #Lyft #Immigration #PublicSafety #BreakingNews #Politics #ElPaso #NewMexico #LawEnforcement #Crime #News
