Join us in welcoming our new #PremierSector Border Patrol Agent trainees. They will join Class 1295 at the BP Academy in Artesia, NM. We wish these future agents the best as they embark on this journey. We’re excited to see the knowledge & experience they bring from the academy.

This man is 🛑WANTED🛑 in Brazil for a murder committed in 2014. #ElCentro Sector’s Intel Unit found him illegally living in Massachusetts, where he was arrested by ICE. We are looking for criminal illegal aliens who are in the U.S. to hide from international justice. #Shaned

Can you keep up with the #PremierSector?🤔 We have a challenge for you!😎 #CBP #DHS #USBP #BorderPatrol #ElCentroSector

The border remains closed. Those who arrive w/o documentation will be subject to prosecution for illegal entry & subsequently removed. Since 1/21/25, over 90% of subjects caught in #ElCentroSector have been referred for prosecution. This is higher than anywhere else in the U.S.

This predator’s mistake? Crossing in the #PremierSector. An illegal alien from El Salvador had been convicted of sexual assault & deported. Our agents caught & charged him w/ 8 USC 1326 Re-entry of Removed Alien. We protect communities from predators like him. Arrested 9/8/25

Teamwork shuts down smuggling attempt! When agents from @USBPChiefSD attempted to stop a car, an illegal alien bailed out & the driver fled into the El Centro Sector. He was arrested at Hwy 86 immigration checkpoint for 8 USC 1324 (alien smuggling). #USBP #CBP #PremierSector

Trying to look all tuff? Nice try. GUESS who got arrested for…?😱 ▪️Smuggling 2 bundles of cocaine ▪️Being in the U.S. illegally #Indio BPAs stopped this illegal alien driving a car w/ 5.7 lbs of cocaine (worth about $44K). GUESS who’s going to prison & then back to Mexico?

Wanted in Honduras. Found in New York. Wanted for participating in a murder in 2004, he snuck into the U.S. & lived here illegally for 20 years. El Centro’s Intel Unit discovered he was living in Bay Shore, NY & provided information leading to his arrest by #ICE. #Shaned

With convictions/arrests from 2006-2019, including for sexual battery, willful cruelty to child, & harm/death elderly dependent adult, this illegal alien shouldn’t have been in the U.S. Thanks to #Indio agents, he won’t pose a threat to innocent & vulnerable people here anymore.

This illegal alien overstayed his visa. He applied to adjust his status, stating he had no criminal history. The reality? He’s a part of a criminal group charged w/ murdering police in Venezuela. The #PremierSector found him in living FL, where Miami Sector agents arrested him.

Acting Chief Patrol Agent Remenar swore in our newest BPA trainee, who will be joining Class 1293 at the Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, NM, as well as a new Mission Support Specialist. We look forward for both of them to have successful careers! Welcome to the #PremierSector.

This illegal alien is wanted by El Salvador for directing MS-13 gang members to murder, kidnap, & extort. This “homeboy” was arrested in Oxnard, CA. This takedown highlights teamwork between El Centro’s intelligence research & Op At Large’s targeted enforcement. #Shaned

Today, with our #Calexico Office of Field Operations partners, we commemorated 9/11. We will #neverforget the sacrifices of those first responders who lost their lives serving their community. #DHS #CBP #OFO #USBP #BorderPatrol #ElCentroSector #PremierSector

24 years later, we still remember our fallen 9/11 heroes and continue to honor their bravery. #September11 #TwinTowers #neverforget911 #IV911

Did she really think her camouflaged bodysuit would stop our agents from finding her in the car trunk? After #ElCentro agents followed her smuggler’s car to the #Blythe #USBP checkpoint, they discovered this illegal alien hidden in the trunk despite her outfit of the day. #ootd

📣Convicted rapist freed in U.S. thanks to CA loophole. Lawful permanent resident forcibly raped a 14-y-o, was convicted, & served prison time. After ICE took him in custody to deport, he filed pursuant to CA 1473(a)(1). A judge vacated his conviction. See photo for details.

Tic Tac Toe…3 felonies in a row In addition to felonies in WA and AZ, this illegal alien from Mex can add one in CA (re-entry after deportation) to his lengthy criminal record. Thanks to vigilant #ElCentro agents, he’ll be removed from the U.S. and won’t wreak havoc here again.

When #Indio agents tried to stop this driver, he refused to stop, lost control, crashed into a car, and fled on foot. Plot twist: Turn out he was in the U.S. illegally! So he was arrested. He is now in the process of being deported. What a way to crash & burn!💥 #CBP #DHS

The U.S. Army’s 720th MP Battalion deployed to the ELS hard-to-reach, westernmost mountainous zones via Chinook helicopter. Their ops have been positively impacting our ability to catch IAs. We are excited to continue working with this team. #DHS #CBP #USBP #PremierSector #Army

#Indio agents apprehended a US citizen at the Hwy 86 checkpoint w/ 176 pounds of meth worth an estimated $149,727 in her car. This year, she’s been arrested not once, not twice, but 3 times for possessing a controlled substance for sale! Press release: https://t.co/fP6XFOEsnu
