YUMA, Ariz. - Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents captured a total of 108 immigrants on video and arrested a total of 220 immigrants on Thursday, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

CBP said at approximately 3:30 a.m. a large number of immigrants were dropped over the border wall east of the San Luis port of entry.

This was part of a coordinated smuggling effort where the subjects were dropped off the legacy landing mat border wall in four places simultaneously.
The facilitators never crossed with the groups and returned to Mexico and out of the 108 individuals, 100 were from Guatemala and the rest were Honduran nationals.

Throughout the day agents arrested an additional 112 immigrants, a majority being from Guatemala, and were later processed for immigration proceeding.

"Coordinated smuggling of large numbers of Central Americans is taking place daily here in Yuma Sector," said Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Anthony Porvaznik.
"They show flagrant disregard for the laws of our country and are exploiting our need for improved border wall infrastructure."

Nogales, Son

If hundreds of more Central American migrants arrive to the Nogales border to live and work if they can not cross to the United States, said Juan Francisco Loureiro Herrera it could present a social problem for Nogales.

The Director of the San Juan Bosco Migrant Shelter, an institution of private assistance, assured that the possible arrival of a caravan of migrants to the north of the country, for them there is the possibility of attending them, but perhaps not for the city.

"Regarding us as a shelter if we are prepared to serve the people we reach to receive them, we have a quota for 300 people with a humanitarian service and we are supporting people in situations of vulnerability on our border, avoiding social problems" , He said.

He added that before the arrival of migrants to the border and without money, when they can not cross or that they are deported or repatriated, it can become a social problem, since they are attracted to Nogales by the offer of jobs that the maquiladora industry has.

"The problem would be if you find work in the maquila, but there is the question of housing, the lack of basic services such as drinking water, garbage collection and many things that make us expect a social problem, the city is not prepared to receive as many people as the announced one that will arrive, if they arrive here ", indicated.

Loureiro Herrera said that migrants assisted in their shelter, receive food, bed, medical care and basic medicines, as well as used clothing and footwear, but in good condition, a facility already prepared for a considerable increase in migrants in the near future.

He reported that currently deportations and repatriations have increased by up to 85 percent in recent weeks.
