SHOCKING Border Patrol BUST, But This Time It's NOT At The Southern Border

Havre Sector Border Patrol agents have arrested a group of migrants during an attempted human smuggling incident near the Canadian border in Montana.

During the arrest, a vehicle search led to the seizure of drugs, a handgun, and cash.

According to Border Patrol officials, Sweetgrass Station Border Patrol agents observed two suspected migrants walking near the border. The two individuals were quickly approaching what appeared to be an awaiting human smuggler's vehicle. The agents conducted an immigration interview and determined the two pedestrians were migrants without legal authorization to be in the United States. The agents then interviewed the vehicle's two occupants and decided they were also migrants who were illegally present in the U.S.

The agents placed all four migrants in custody and began a search of the smuggler's vehicle. During the investigation, a K-9 alerted them to the possible presence of drugs in the car. A physical examination of the vehicle led to the discovery of what was believed to be narcotics and drug paraphernalia. A field test identified methamphetamine, cocaine, and freebase cocaine. The search also led to the discovery of a loaded Taurus 9mm pistol and three loaded magazines. Additionally, a stash of more than $12,000 in cash was found in the possession of one of the migrants. Agents seized the money, the gun, and the drugs.
