Nice full boxes. They look pretty heavy.

Should have a lot of stuff in there.

We're the Trade Intelligence Enforcement Response Team.

TIER team. Here at JFK Airport.

We target shipments coming from overseas.

We're gonna look at a shipment coming from India.

This shipper that we've known for a little bit has his

hands in everything.

All right, let's see what we've got here.

This is manifested as clothing and houseware.

There we go.

Wow.

Called Carisoprodol tablets.

They're painkillers, Schedule Four.

Completely counterfeit.

These painkillers they cannot be taken

without doctor's prescription.

And this going to some random person's home,

to sell off-market.

So this is definitely counterfeit.

Looks like it's all the same pills here.

Yeah, it looks like all of them are the same.

We have a big amount in here. 100 in each box.

100 in each box and we have another box.

All right. Let's see what they have.

Let me, oh, yeah.

It's good.

Oh, my God. Another box of pills.

Another painkiller.

Tapentadol.

It looks like it's a Schedule Two drug.

100 milligrams. 100 in a box.

This is an opioid painkiller.

Again, definitely need a prescription.

The other one was a Schedule Four.

This is a Schedule Two.

So it's a little more dangerous.

More addictive than the than the other one.

Yeah, and we don't know the source.

We don't know what it's made of.

If it's really what it claims to be.

These are not FDA-approved.

There is no pharmaceutical company involved.

They're very highly addictive.

And it's part of an opioid epidemic.

This could be life-threatening for a lot of people.

This is a really good catch for us.

Let's contact FDA, DEA, and HSI agents, of course.

See if they wanna take this further.

Consumers are not aware of what they're buying,

whether it's online or the store.

If you ask the average person,

they'll think about counterfeit shirts,

counterfeit handbags.

They don't think about counterfeit medication.

Meanwhile, that's the ones that are really dangerous.

Hopefully, we'll get an arrest and get this

guy out of business.

All right, let's head over to the warehouse.

Anything to declare?

Nothing. This one here is my purse

Where are you going?

Home.

We're at Paso Norte Port of Entry in

El Paso, Texas, and this is pedestrian.

How much cash are you carrying back with you?

- I have 200. - That's it?

Anything else to declare?

No.

The travelers that pass through here

are usually people that live right across the border

or people that live on this side of the border,

visiting family.

People going to work.

Also, people that are gonna go shopping.

We have Downtown El Paso here,

and we have downtown Juarez.

So we have vice versa of people visiting each other.

Can you put your bag in the machine?

Go ahead. You can keep walking.

Here, through pedestrian, we're scanning luggage from

all the people traveling on foot.

We're looking, mainly, of course,

for agriculture commodities.

We also look for cash, currency, narcotics,

weapons, firearms, ammunition.

Uh-oh.

Can I please have an officer to a QI X-ray?

Currency verification.

Something's off about her purse,

and it appears to be maybe some currency.

Sometimes it could be a book.

But currency, when I see it as a stack of cash,

it's perfectly uniform and rectangular.

More or less, how much money in cash do you have?

Fifteen thousand.

She declared a certain amount.

Follow me this way.

They're gonna take her to verify how much she actually

does have and also find out where the money is from and

why does she have it today.

We have a traveler.

She did declare $15,000.

We're gonna verify the currency right now,

what the currency is for.

Currently, she's saying that she's gonna try to bail out her

brother from prison,

but we wanna verify her story is legit and the money is legit.

She says it's $15,000.

Stacks of 20s and 100s?

Yes.

She does have two stacks.

One stack are in dominations of one hundred.

One other stack of 20-dollar bills with

different rubber bands.

Usually, when we see those different rubber bands,

it means that that money goes to certain people.

This is 1,000.

Many people in Mexico, when they change

from Mexican currency to U.S. currency,

the Mexican currency place will throw in

20s, fives, tens.

This one, it's just a stack of 100 dollars and

a stack of 20-dollar bills.

That's a sign of possible illicit criminal proceeds.

14, 15, 16, 17,000.

17,100.

Where do I get a train?

So the train, you gotta go down to the left, okay?

I love people's fashion sense in these flights.

Here at Newark International Airport,

this last year and a half, we've been seeing marijuana

going outbound and then ketamine, cocaine,

all these manufactured drugs coming in.

Where are you coming from?

- Mexico. - Mexico?

What do you have in here?

I have clothes, seeds, peanuts.

We're waiting for a passenger that may be a food courier.

We've got some information that they might have

narcotics with them.

Coming from Mexico City.

So we just happen to rove the whole flight,

in case there's other people with him,

to make sure that we get everybody who's involved in

possibly bringing narcotics into the country today.

Anything to declare?

Any food, money, alcohol, tobacco?

No.

Any time you see a person traveling with large bags from

Mexico, those people are usually bringing in food.

We just had a seizure a couple weeks ago where a food courier

had fentanyl stuffed inside cheese.

You got him?

- Yeah. - All right.

How many bags do you have, sir?

Five.

Five? Okay. Let's go.

My subject of interest has five bags.

We're gonna take them back to our area,

see what he has in them.

So, what do you do for work?

I'm a chauffeur.

So, what are you bringing in all this?

Gifts.

Gifts?

There's no food?

Yes, tamales.

Tamales?

You sure you're not a food courier?

- No. - No?

So you don't have any paperwork for the stuff

you brought here?

Oh, yes, I have the permits.

Permits for what?

For the food, just in case.

So, you are a food courier.

No. No. I only got them because...

...they told me I needed permits.

It's okay. Put them up here.

You know everything that is inside?

You inspected it?

You're not bringing anything for somebody else?

Ok, so we're going to do an inspection. Okay?

Uh-hmm.

Everything is wrapped?

Yes.

This is food.

It has some kind of protein in it.

Chicken.

He's saying it's chicken. Well, it looks, looks good.

Okay.

You can put this all back here.

He is a, a food courier.

They get permission to bring food overseas because only

certain foods can come into the United States.

What is this?

Aguardiente (alcohol).

They're all aguardiente?

This is alcohol.

I usually shake it, see if it fizzes up, which it did.

So I'm just gonna open it to double-check.

If it crystallizes, usually it means something else might be

in this liquid form.

A lot of the times, it'll be liquid cocaine,

which will crystallize.

Oh.

My God.

Oh, my God. That is crazy.

That's never happened to me in my life.

What is this?

Aguardiente.

This is aguardiente?

He's saying this is alcohol.

I don't know what kind of alcohol.

That was insane.

I felt like it was a volcano.

You know, in school, you do a volcano.

Oh, my God.

Here you go.

I'm not sure how much is left.

If someone wants to send food, how do they contact you?

There's a sign at the house.

In Mexico?

Okay.

How do you know to whom they are sending this?

Because it's marked by the family.

It's saying it's fiber, but I'm gonna test it just to see.

Okay. You can pack this all up.

Thank you.

I told him to pack everything.

But some of this stuff, I don't know what it is.

So I'm just gonna make sure that it's what it says it is.

So I'm gonna use one of our machines that

detects for narcotics.

Basically, any substance that we aren't sure about.

If this is fiber, it will tell me, "Hey, that's fiber."

It says cake mix.

All right. So we're good.

We're done, right?

It was definitely something unexpected.

That's something you could come across.

If it was like narcotics, they might explode on you.

You don't know if you've got fentanyl one day;

it might come out into the air.

So it's always a surprise.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

I think he was just a little nervous.

But after I saw like all the contents of his bag with food,

and he was responding normally, I was like,

"Oh, he's good to go."

So, you're sure you only did it one time?

Do you have any questions at this moment?

After further questions,

she did confess and admit that

she was bringing that money for illicit proceeds

to a transnational Criminal organization

of alien smuggling.

She was going through pedestrian.

She's a US citizen. And she said she had $15,000.

We found $17,100.

- Okay. - After further questioning,

that money is for illicit proceeds.

Do you know what the illegal proceeds are from?

As of now, when we asked, she said it's for alien smuggling.

We called HSI 'cause she does say she has information.

She was gonna bring it to somebody else?

She was gonna turn it into a person right here in the,

in the corner, just up north of the port of entry.

She's bringing $16,000 for one person,

$1,100 for the secondary person.

All right.

She was gonna turn in the money, she gets paid,

and she goes back to Mexico.

- All right. - Sounds good?

- Sounds good. - All right, well,

I'll keep you updated, sir.

Good job.

We're gonna seize the currency.

$17,100.

We have Homeland Security Investigations

doing their investigation.

She will be taken into El Paso County Jail,

being booked, and further processing.

Assistant attorney will pick up the charges

for illicit proceeds.

It was a good day for us today.

We were able to seize the currency,

able to stop that fraud money to support the

transnational criminal organization.

We were able to put someone behind bars.

The sad part is that they're just gonna move

on to another person.

They'll hire someone else.

That person will come with illicit proceeds.

It's our job to stop those people.

According to the entry documents,

this shipment is coming from Spain.

Where was this heading to?

The importer is based out of here, in New York City.

And the high value of this shipment is an alert for us.

All right.

So, there's a high likelihood there's a

violation on this one.

All right. We'll find out.

When it comes to cultural property and antiquities,

we've seen everything from Greco-Roman, Egyptian,

fossils, you name it.

Where are we heading?

Go all the way down there.

We do our best to make sure that everything

is in compliance.

When antiquities get looted, they get stolen,

they brought it here.

They're taking a piece of the identity of that country and

the people from there.

It's our job to return those items back, 'cause they belong

to that country and they don't belong here.

Where? The bottom one? And the top one?

- It's these two, yeah. - Okay.

Two pieces. Wanna ask them to move it out?

Yeah. So, can we move that right here?

Sure. According to the documentation.

It's declared as exposition material.

Well, we can't go by just looking at the

description on their manifest 'cause they do lie.

Thank you very much.

Yes, sir.

Could be something, could be nothing.

You never know.

It's kinda like shooting your shot, see what you get.

All right. Let's see what we got.

Oh, look at this.

Oh, wow.

It�s beautiful.

It looks Roman, but the paperwork is saying it's coming

from Spain.

I see some cracks here.

It's missing a head, arms, and the legs.

Get some measurements.

We wanna make sure it's not stolen,

it hasn't been looted,

has the correct paperwork, and it's imported legally.

21.5 inches tall.

This importer, we had prior issues with the way they were

importing antiquities, evading not only U.S. laws

but international laws.

11 and a half inches wide.

It is heavier than I thought.

There's more damage in the back.

- Oh, yeah? - Right there.

It doesn't look like its head's broken off.

They made it this way.

And the arms too.

You can see that it's not one piece.

The arms could be attached.

I know this piece has seen better days,

but can you imagine when they first sculpted this?

- Yeah. - The amount of like the details.

- Uh-hmm. - Really beautiful.

This guy has some triceps going on here.

I mean.

Yeah.

It was a beautiful, I mean, it's a beautiful piece now, but.

Yeah, the craftsmanship back then.

Yeah.

All right, I'm gonna go here and then, I mean,

this is high-value items.

We don't wanna destroy a piece of history.

I mean, it's gotta be, at least, 80 pounds.

So we're just gonna take some pictures for the

subject matter experts.

These subject matter experts they could be museum curators,

professors, anyone who studies this particular subject.

They'll let us know whether it's authentic or not and

get it appraised.

They request that our pictures are very detailed.

Yeah.

So, we try to take pictures of as much detail as we can.

Areas like this, where it broke off,

we�ll take pictures of those areas, send it out.

If it is a known piece,

that is one of our identifying marks.

It also gives them an idea of what it's made out of.

We're gonna repack this the way it was,

and then we just gotta store it back until we figure out

what's going on with the,

with the paperwork and the report from the,

from the experts.

Next, we got the bottom one.

This one is a little bit larger.

We're gonna check it out. Let's see what we get.

Good morning. Where you going?

I'm going here, to the store.

How much cash are you bringing?

Around three hundred dollars.

Okay.

Here you go.

How much money are you bringing more or less?

$1,000.

It's your day for an inspection.

Number three.

Yes, number three.

I sent that car in for an additional inspection.

So they're gonna see what they find.

Who's vehicle is it?

My niece's.

Your niece's?

Where are you coming from?

From our house in Juarez.

In Juarez? Okay.

And where are you going to?

To our house here.

Okay. What are you bringing in the vehicle?

Nothing, just a bag of clothes.

Okay.

Do you drive the vehicle a lot?

Yes?

What do you do?

I work here at a restaurant,

and I also work in Juarez.

And you?

Me, too.

At the same restaurant?

No, I work with her in Juarez.

The officers will be here soon to inspect.

Yes. That's fine.

We're gonna do a seven-point inspection on the vehicle to

see if they can find any currency or narcotics in it.

We look for tampering,

anything that's been removed, put back.

Which one is your bag?

This one.

- Okay. - Uh-hmm.

Your money?

Yes, this is mine.

What do you do?

We work as strippers in Juarez.

Why are you bringing in dollars, then?

Because I buy dollars to deposit them here in my account.

Do you have the receipts?

From buying them?

Of the exchange.

Yes, I think so.

I just bought them.

And you work together?

Yes.

I also work here in El Paso.

Doing the same thing?

No. Here, I work as a waitress.

No, this one is just for twenty.

Okay.

During our inspection, we found U.S. currency that was

not declared in their purse.

Did you grab all of your money?

Yes.

She said that she had just exchanged the money

from pesos to U.S. dollars.

She couldn't come up with a receipt.

So we're gonna escort both subjects,

along with their purses,

to the head house where we're gonna count all the currency.

We're headed over to Terminal B.

We just got more information on another subject of interest

for today, going outbound to Southampton, U.K.

So we're gonna go see this subject of interest and find

out if they might have drugs.

So this is actually the.

...bird here that we're gonna look at.

Do you guys want it upstairs?

Or just keep it down here?

I'll grab it upstairs.

We don't know what's in it just yet,

but we're gonna find out once we get the subject,

bind her to her bags, and open them up.

Working in all weathers is great.

Hello.

At this moment... Airlines is welcoming all

passengers with children under the age of five.

We're just waiting for our subject of interest to take her

bag to Terminal B to conduct our, rest of our exam.

You guys traveling together?

We are.

Okay.

I'm just following her.

Go ahead.

Passports out, please.

Got her.

Hi, where are you headed to?

London.

Why are you going to London?

I'm just going to visit.

To visit whom?

No one.

I really don't...

How so?

I don't have any acquaintances.

Where are you staying?

With whom?

In a hotel.

Alright.

I have all the information here.

You have all the info here?

Yes, in my phone.

Alright.

Where are you from?

I'm Mexican.

You're Mexican?

I'm Mexican.

Where do you live here?

In California, Turlock.

How many bags do you have with you?

Two.

Two?

These are your two bags?

- Uh-huh. - Okay.

So, we're gonna grab them, take you to our room...

...check everything, and then you'll board your flight.

Hand me your backpack, please.

The passenger told me that she was going to the U.K.

to just go sightseeing.

She didn't have no one that she was gonna go see.

So, she's just gonna come with us.

We're gonna check her bags,

and then if there's nothing in there,

she's gonna go on to her flight.

Everything inside is yours?

It belongs to you and nobody else?

- Uh-hmm. - Okay.

What's the code to open the bags?

To be honest, I don't know it.

You don't know the code?

No.

She don't know the code.

Yeah.

So, we're going to take the bags back to our area...

...so we can open them. Okay?

Look towards the wall.

Hands on your back.

But why is this happening?

What's the reason?

You were selected...

Can you explain?

Yes, you were selected for an inspection, okay?

Let's go. We're leaving.

She didn't know the passcode to her own bags.

Due to her not knowing this, and us having to transfer her,

we had to put handcuffs on her for our safety and to make sure

she doesn't run away.

We can put all of your bags up here.

And check them. Okay?

You said you don't know the code?

- No. - No?

Stay here, okay?

Do you know what's inside?

No?

Okay. We're going to do an inspection.

She won't tell you?

She's not sure what's inside, she said.

I don't, I can't open this.

Get in there. What's going on?

You want to do this?

Woo!

Alright, ready for this one?

Yup.

Let's see what we got.

Well, there you go. Oh, wow. It's beautiful.

The first thing that jumps out to me is the discoloration.

- It's pretty old. - Yeah. It's probably a male.

Yeah. Chiseled.

Missing arms. The head again.

It looks like a Greek statue.

Just think about it.

Just the fact that you had somebody, you know that,

that sculpted this to, like, almost perfection.

You can see, look at this.

This looks like muscles right here.

It's all very detailed. Almost real.

People go to museums for this kind of stuff, right?

It's always either behind a glass or something.

Yeah.

And here we are at work, and we get to touch these items

and see them close.

It's history, you know?

Do we want to try picking it up, no?

No.

This one's about two or three times the size of the last one.

We were struggling a little bit with that last one,

so this one?

No chance.

Alright, let's get some pictures.

When we deal with cultural property and antiquities, uh,

that is all over the place.

It could be items that are, like, $1200, uh,

all the way to thousands and thousands of dollars.

Many factors can be taken into consideration.

It could be how rare these items are.

It could be how well preserved they are, the material,

or it could be also the importance in history.

The subject matter expert will determine their values,

and they will inform us of how valuable these items really are.

Their future right now is uncertain.

Once we find out the documentation,

that we have an investigation, if it's brought here illegally,

it'll be sent back to where it belongs.

Do you have anything on you?

No, nothing.

Excuse me, what's all this?

Now I'm scared.

You have to declare it, miss.

We're going to count and verify the amount.

Come this way.

Have a seat here.

Why did you only declare a thousand dollars?

Because I wasn't going to bring it all.

I had changed the money and left it in another bag.

But then I grabbed the wrong bag.

You had put the money in this bag?

Yes.

I thought I left it in the other one.

And in the other one, I only had a thousand dollars.

That's a large amount.

How are you not going to remember?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

What was the total?

$4,153.

Why didn't you deposit that money?

Well...

I deposit it little by little because I also spend in Mexico.

Yes, but you bought four thousand dollars.

Where did you have that money?

In my house.

You live in Juarez?

Yes, I also live here in El Paso.

Okay, miss, this stays with you.

Yes, thank you. Alright.

We did discover and accounted for $4,153.

So now we're gonna move forward with it.

Come on, ma'am.

We will separate the subjects.

We'll send one sister to one cell.

And we'll have the other sister in another cell.

Go through the phones.

This is for you to read.

Explaining us having access to your phone.

What's your code?

She did give us the code.

And she did agree for us to-to check the phone.

Anything on the phone?

Yes.

Under deleted messages.

Okay.

They're asking her about a job posting to pick up people.

And they're asking how much they're paying.

And the message is stating that they're paying $500 a person.

It seems like she's recruiting people,

because there are several individuals asking

about the job.

Okay.

She has several messages where she recruits people to

transport illegal migrants into the U.S.

for $500 a person.

Do you want to tell me anything?

Before?

Well, yes.

Yes.

(SUB -So, about the five hundred per person and all that?

I don't receive money for that.

Remember, your cellphone tells everything. Okay?

If there's something you want to tell me, do it.

I was the person looking for people to recruit.

But not anymore.

I did not pick people up, I did not pay the money,

nor did I...

Okay.

We also know where that money is coming from.

Do you want to tell me once and for all?

That money is mine.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay.

She just disclosed that she has something to do with,

uh, alien smuggling.

Open your mouth.

Take off your hairband.

Why do you have a false document?

My ex. It was his,

and I never gave it back to him.

So he's not a resident?

No.

In the other sister's purse,

we did find a fraudulent,

illegal resident card.

She stated that it belonged to her boyfriend,

but she had it in her possession.

When was the last time you saw him?

Around last year.

I haven't seen him again.

Do you have the document?

These documents can be used in the U.S.

to illegally work and live here in the U.S.

We want to find out where this document was made,

where it was bought.

And if we have any more information,

we could either pass it on to HSI or

other investigative agencies.

You're an American citizen?

Yes.

Very good.

Who's the other girl?

She's my sister.

She's your sister.

Okay. So, who is this person?

He's my ex.

Okay, where is he?

He's in Mexico.

Do you know about this document?

Why are you bringing it?

He gave them to me to hold.

He asked you to hold them?

Do you know it's against the law to carry a false document...

...and to bring them into the U.S.?

Honestly, I didn't know.

Yes.

How much did he pay for the document?

Do you know?

I think...

Honestly, I don't know much.

But I think it was around a hundred dollars.

Where did he buy it?

In Kansas.

In Kansas?

- Uh-hmm. - Okay.

Do you have any questions?

Well, what's going to happen to us?

Okay, your problem is the document...

...and your sister has a different problem...

...that right now I can't discuss with you

for personal reasons...

...of your sister.

But when I get the opportunity...

...I'll let you know what we're going to do with you. Okay?

Right now, we don't know if the sister is involved in this

human smuggling.

However, she did have some false documents on her.

Uh, she is a U.S. citizen.

So, at this point, when the agent in charge of this case

gets here, he is gonna determine if this case is gonna

be just seize the documents and her getting arrested,

or there may be a continuation of the

human smuggling investigation.

I just came across the same thing with the sister.

Picking up people, they'll provide the vehicle,

and it's good pay.

So, she is involved?

Okay. I did talk to the agent. And he said for us to wait.

He wants to confirm it with those messages.

So once he gets here, we'll provide the messages.

She'll end up most likely breaking to the agent.

Alright. This is the Roman statue.

The importer, he declared this one from, coming from Spain.

But after talking to the subject matter expert,

they determined the country of origin based on the material

used to construct it and said it's actually

coming from Turkey.

This is probably a Roman officer from 70 A.D.,

which is about 1950 years old.

These Roman officer statues were constructed for political

achievements or achievements in battle.

The head is removable.

They would just change it based on whoever was in power

at that time.

So it's being seized by us, due to its, uh,

false claim of country of origin.

This Roman officer statue is valued at $300,000.

HSI will start the repatriation process to get this back

to its rightful owner, Turkey.

- Here we go. - Alright.

This Greek statue was declared as exported from the U.K.

But after consulting with the subject matter expert, it is,

in fact, from Greece.

Comes from around second century B.C.

So this is. 2200 years old.

2200 years old.

He doesn't look bad for 2,000 years old.

He's in great shape.

Yeah.

The subject matter expert, right away,

recognized this statue as the Greek God

of medicine, Asclepius.

In modern-day medicine, we still use Asclepius' staff,

which is a staff with a snake wrapped around it,

as a symbol of healing.

Along with the subject matter expert,

we also reached out to the Greek Ministry of Culture.

They confirmed that this was excavated in their country.

We have a bilateral agreement with Greece,

where anything exported would require a license.

It is, therefore, illegal to be, uh,

exported out of Greece and into, uh, America.

We're gonna seize it and then repatriate it back to Greece,

where it belongs.

This Greek statue is valued at $200,000.

When it comes to the theft of

cultural property, statues or antiquities,

we take pride in returning those items back,

so they can be enjoyed by generations.

It's history of that country.

It's also the identity of the people of that country.

And it's very rewarding, uh, to be part of that process.

Do you know what this is?

Huh?

Who gave it to you?

A person gave them to me.

Who is this person?

If you talk, it will be easier for you.

A friend of my cousin.

But he, I mean...

...he did tell me what it was, but not that amount.

What did he tell you when you talked to him?

They only told me...

...if I could bring them.

Huh?

That they were going to pay me.

How much were they paying you?

A thousand per bag.

A thousand each?

Just a thousand?

Mhm.

- Okay. - By hand.

Here we go. So, they're very vacuum-sealed.

This is what you're bringing.

Okay?

Honestly, it looks like marijuana.

We see this all the time.

These bags are coming in all different ways.

So now they have these type of locks.

You get the-the combination locks.

You get the regular lock.

Pull it open. You can pull it.

I'm separating the metal.

There you go.

There you go.

Get in there.

Now, I'm just entering a little piece of the substance

into a test kit.

Just to get a positive identification that it is what

we're suspecting it to be.

Okay, so it did come back as marijuana,

'cause it turned orange.

So, you can see.

This shows it's marijuana.

Okay?

I'm going to put you in that room to wait for

someone else, okay?

Let's go.

It's like Tetris weighing these.

So it's gonna be 25 packets in the one bag.

Although this is legal in Jersey,

it is not legal federally.

All of this marijuana was headed to the U.K.

Due to her traveling with this abroad,

it becomes international law, which is federal law,

so it's illegal.

Still ten left?

Two, three, four, nine.

Nine?

27.03 kilograms.

Okay.

Now, we have all this weighed, we have the passenger waiting

for state and local to come over.

They're gonna take custody of this and take custody of the

passenger, and they're gonna take them to their headquarters.

Where they'll prosecute from there.

Oh, there he is.

- Hey, what's up, man? - How are you, man?

- Great, dude. - Good, good.

We did a continuation of the inspection.

However, I was waiting for you.

Because I know you're gonna do your interview.

Okay.

So I kind of wanted to let that, that, you handle that.

I already talked to the AUSA [Assistant U.S. Attorney].

The AUSA is onboard.

Um, he's waiting for my call.

Outstanding.

So as soon as we can get all the elements.

Outstanding.

- We're good to go. - Alright.

Our counterparts here at Customs called us.

And they have already done some of their investigating.

And we're here to continue and do our part

of the investigation.

So, they're on...

One.

Okay.

Another one.

Okay.

And the same thing with the sister.

The information about people that she's been asking.

Does she have any messages between her and her sister?

Yes, so some of the screenshots that she has here,

she has on her phone.

Okay, both will be prosecuted.

Alright, where are they at?

Alright, let's go.

Come.

You're under arrest. Okay?

Under arrest for conspiracy. Okay?

For transporting illegal aliens.

You understand?

Okay.

Come this way.

For now, put your head here.

There you go. Just like that.

Come.

Listen... um.

You and your sister are being arrested. Okay?

For conspiracy to transport illegal aliens. Okay?

Turn around and the official will place you

under arrest. Okay?

First time, I'm scared.

We can make a call, right?

When you get there...

...I'll let them know to let you call.

It has to be a quick call and on speaker. Okay?

I love you very much.

Me too.

Go on.

They will be transported back to the Santa Teresa

Border Patrol station.

Both will be prosecuted for conspiracy to

transport illegal aliens.

We're gonna be turning this currency,

proceeds of human smuggling, to Border Patrol.

$4,153.

We're out of here.

- Alright, man. - Appreciate it.

You have a good one.

It's good to take cases like this down to show that any kind

of illegal activity will get prosecuted.

It's a blow to the smuggling organization,

the way they operate.

And takes a major part of what they do out of the equation.

Have a seat right there.

It's a big lesson, right?

Too much.

And you have to learn it.

I already have learned it with all this.

Just by thinking about it.

There are much worse people.

But this is our first time.

And the last time.

I understand.

Okay?

This was a positive night for us.

Unfortunately, sometimes people make the wrong choice,

and it's understandable.

Sometimes they do need money because necessity,

family problems, etcetera.

And at the end of the day, they end up paying with, uh,

with jail time.

Human smuggling is a multi - billion-dollar business

that the cartels are involved.

There's a lot of victims out there.

Every person we catch helps.

We can slow down,

and we can stop this transportation of illegal people

here in the U.S.
