This new Border Wars compilation series will follow the action of border patrol agents as they apprehend drug smugglers and intercept migrants entering the United States illegally.
Manpower and high tech tools are often not enough to protect the border so in this Border Wars episode we focus on k-9's; four legged assets that can go where humans and technology can't. We will see them at work alongside their human partners. The CBP has over 1,500 canine team on staff, making it the largest law enforcement on the US. with amazing dogs like Archi who has helped to75 apprehend more than 800 undocumented immigrants and seize $2.3 million worth of drugs.
From cocaine to marijuana, border car stops to stakeouts, the most high valued, multi-million dollar drug busts along our border are featured.
Using eyes in the skies and feet on the ground, CBP tracks and apprehends people and drugs entering the U.S. illegally, but some don't surrender without a chase. These are exciting Border Wars chases, where ATVs, SUVs, helicopters, horses and even men on foot pursue suspects through some of the harshest terrain in the country, to keep the border secure.
Follow along as border patrol agents hunt down drug runners and illegal immigrants trying to cross the border and sneak into the U.S. any way they possibly can.
The U.S. Territory of Puerto Rico lies at the center of a smuggling route called the Caribbean Corridor. And DHS officers and agents stationed there are in the eye of this trafficking storm. Follow their efforts to capture undocumented immigrants and seize illicit drugs and cash on the high seas, in airports and ferry terminals, even house-to-house in some of Puerto Rico's toughest neighborhoods.
As migrants and drugs cross the US Mexico border, stash houses in unsuspecting neighborhoods are used to hide people and contraband before they reach a final destination. It's CBP and ICE's job to find, bust, and apprehend people and things entering illegally. Watch as a house filled with 70 illegal migrants is found to a surprised force, a child-porn ring is busted, and a cat and mouse stakeout catches human traffickers red handed.
Every day the Agents and Officers of the Department of Homeland Security go to work using the latest technology and vehicles to protect our borders from suspected criminals, drug smugglers and undocumented migrants. A-Star helicopters, fast boats, ATV's, and Predator Drones can give them the edge but it is a constant fight to stay ahead. They will do all that it takes to keep our country safe by "Air, Land and Sea".
The desperate and depraved - each person has a story to tell and a goal to achieve. One seeks a new life and future in a country ripe with economic opportunity. The other seeks a never-ending market for illicit drugs and contraband. Each must cross the heavily patrolled southern U.S. border from east Texas to the California coast. Whether it's forging rivers or digging tunnels, there is no easy path when it comes to Extreme Crossings.
Every day across the length of the US-Mexico border, drug traffickers use every trick possible to move their product into the United States. This episode takes an in-depth look at ingenious tricks of the trade - decoy cars, tunnels, ultralights, decoy cars, hidden compartments - and the agents and officers of the Department of Homeland Security who work to put a stop to the illicit activity.
Drugs and contraband drive north - cash and guns flow south. That is the 24/7 routines from east Texas to the California coast as clever crooks try to outwit the Customs and Border Patrol. Every unseen nook and cranny of any vehicle is an opportunity to get billions of dollars of illicit goods into the hands of Americans with an insatiable appetite for getting high.
We've seen the busts - huge seizures of drugs, cash and guns. We've seen the takedowns, stakeouts and arrests. But what happens after the bust. What becomes of the billions of dollars of contraband? And what other challenges lay south and north of a porous border? For some it's just another day at the office. For others it's personal. Watch to see what happens Beyond The Bust.
