TUCSON, Ariz. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection posted footage of armed men escorting who it says are Central American migrants across the Arizona-Mexico border.

U.S. Border Patrol cameras captured the video, which shows the assault rifle-toting masked men leading the woman and the 8-year-old boy to the border fence, which they cross together.

Ajo station agents arrested the woman and her son west of Lukeville.

According to the Border Patrol, the area is "commonly used by smugglers to bring massive numbers of Central Americans into the country illegally."

Border Patrol says they credit the use of their detection technology in finding the men smuggling the woman and child across the border.

This is not your everyday Central American migrants, most of those people do not travel with an entourage of protection like that. My guess is that those people are deemed important.

The acting secretary of Homeland Security pushed back on the narrative that President Donald Trump’s border wall is not being built, pointing out that construction has actually been going at an aggressive pace.
“So normally for a federal project of this scope, from the time you get funded to starting, it’s over two years,” Kevin McAleenan said Tuesday on Fox News. “We’ve already built the 2017 funding in less than two years. That shows how aggressively we’re moving out on this.”
McAleenan — who became acting DHS secretary earlier in April after Kirstjen Nielsen resigned — has been tapped by the Trump administration to lead the agency at a time when the U.S. southern border is experiencing record numbers of illegal migrants, many of them Central American families.
Trump has been forced to fight tooth-and-nail with congressional Democrats over border wall funding. The federal government experienced its longest shutdown in U.S. history as the two camps fought over how much money could be appropriated for wall construction. The White House is being sued after it declared a national emergency on the southern border, allowing it to allocate billions more in funding.

The new DHS leader said more military troops are needed to help alleviate the crisis.
“They helped us repel two attempts by a caravan to enter the United States by helping us fortify ports of entry,” he said to host Dana Perino, adding that their presence has helped free up border agents to enforce immigration laws. “They’re going to be helping us build the wall, too.”
McAleenan called for an overhaul of the country’s immigration laws, but cited two areas specifically that are in dire need of reform. Homeland Security agents, he argued, need to be able to detain migrant families together and also have ability to repatriate migrant children from noncontiguous countries.

A very big Caravan of over 20,000 people started up through Mexico. It has been reduced in size by Mexico but is still coming. Mexico must apprehend the remainder or we will be forced to close that section of the Border & call up the Military. The Coyotes & Cartels have weapons!
