(The Center Square) – Texas law enforcement officers continue to be arrested for crimes at the border, including human and drug smuggling and trafficking, sexual assault and producing and distributing child sexual abuse content.

This month, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was arrested in El Paso on criminal charges for allegedly human smuggling and drug trafficking.

According to the indictment, in multiple instances, he admitted to helping smuggle into the U.S. illegal border crossers at the Paso Del Norte Port of Entry in El Paso. He also allegedly conspired to possess a substance containing at least 5kg of cocaine over a period of six years “to distribute throughout Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina and elsewhere,” according to the complaint.

He was charged with “one count of conspiracy to bring aliens to the United States for financial gain, three counts of bringing aliens to the United States for financial gain, and one count of conspiracy to possess a controlled substance with intent to distribute.” If convicted, he faces decades to life in prison. more
