Federal prosecutors in West Texas are hitting hard on illegal immigration, charging over 290 new criminal cases in just one week — from smuggling to re-entry violations, targeting repeat offenders with violent or DUI records. One suspect used a stolen ID and fake passport while admitting to trafficking minors; another, with a rap sheet including robbery and kidnapping, entered the country using forged documents. Even a U.S. citizen faced charges for allegedly harboring 14 undocumented immigrants, possibly tied to smuggling rings. Officers also report resistance and assaults during enforcement stops. All part of Operation Take Back America — a sweeping federal push against border crime across Texas’s vast district. Remember: these are allegations — everyone is innocent until proven guilty — but the volume signals deepening challenges at the border.
