Criminal Element Clause Samples

Criminal Element. Alien and drug smuggling organizations continue to pose significant threats throughout the area. These organizations have become increasingly sophisticated and use counter surveillance, diversionary tactics, night vision devices, and secure communications while conducting operations. Human trafficking, trans-border kidnappings, extortion, murder, and intimidation are common results of cartel competition for lucrative territory. Debriefings of aliens and foot guides, examination of pocket trash, and officer observations indicate substantial intelligence gathering efforts against law enforcement operations by area criminal organizations. Smugglers frequently utilize dangerous tactics in order to further their cargo into the United States. Among these are failures to yield when vehicle or checkpoint stops are initiated, abandonment of the smuggling vehicle by the driver while it is still in motion, wrong-way driving on freeways north through the Mexican Port of Entry into the southbound lanes of Interstate 5, and the overloading of boats with human cargo. The abandonment of individuals or entire groups by their guides in remote, inhospitable environments is not uncommon and has resulted in a significant number of deaths. Smuggling organizations using these, and other tactics, have been historically responsible for several assaults on Border Patrol Agents and local law enforcement officers.

Criminal Element. The criminal element in the El Paso-Cd. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ area varies from highly organized DTO’s to local street gangs. The ongoing drug war in Cd. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has drastically increased violent crime on the border. Gang members directly linked to El Paso and the rest of the U.S., have been identified as working for the cartels, providing services from transport of contraband to actual murders. The ability to track and gather intelligence has become increasingly difficult. The criminal element has become sophisticated with increased counter-intelligence capabilities. Any intelligence gathered, quickly becomes obsolete causing safety concerns for the public as well as for law enforcement. These groups have an extensive network on both side of the border with generations of knowledge in smuggling routes and techniques.
