I was in San Diego prior to going to Tucson and San Diego at one point was
accounting for about 60% of all hard narcotics meth coke fentanyl oh wow San
Diego yeah it's crazy a lot of it come through the ports and then some of it
coming between the ports but in Arizona it started to pick up and the
difference
in Arizona's was they're making these little blue tablets fentanyl tablets
mm-hmm which is much easier to smuggle and transport than you know bricks of
the stuff so you would get and the way these guys operate is it's just
phenomenal so the scenario described right here's the diversion I send a
group of three guys three to five all of them with the backpack all of them
care
well the way they would work it is the first guy would have 20 30 pounds of
marijuana right next guy food and supplies the third guy would have the fentanyl
and he would be carrying probably tend at the most 20 pounds of fentanyl and
then
the other two guys maybe meth coke something else and so this group of five
would come running across the border we would hope that we would pick them up
you know if we're not what we try to do is not get so distracted that we have
completely avoided everything because you again we had air assets technology
and so
you'd see this group and then the the the group had the five guys the first guy
his
job was to get arrested right so that you have to deal dealing with him and the
and
the guy with the fentanyl his job is to get away and the other four guys would
do
everything in their power to make sure that he got away hey it's just it's like
crazy business city chiefs almost kind of you know it's almost like playing
against
andy reed and you know what i'm saying like yeah they're coming with a plan oh
yeah absolutely one
of the things that also happens like these five guys that are coming across
they're going to hike for
30 to 80 miles through the desert so these cartels have logistical
waypoints along the world they they pay so many to haul in food and water fresh
batteries and so
they're set up in the desert in the mountains there so as this group comes
along they're watching so
they got two jobs right one is to resupply and then the second job is to watch
us
and it is it's it's a bear to catch them i mean in order to to arrest these
guys at one point we did
surveillance for probably four to six months identifying all the spots right
and then we brought
in um we brought in a whole slew of air assets uh um blackhawks and everything
else and we brought
in our bore tac which is like our swat team yeah and uh bore star which our
search and rescue team
all these guys are badass yeah and uh so we pinpointed all these locations we
coordinated with the mexicans
and you know i mentioned corruption so we had to coordinate with mexico city to
bring out a vetted
unit that we could trust ah and so you know they they did the blocking on the
mexican side that so
these guys couldn't run south and get away and then we flew all these teams in
at each of these spots and
they'd rappel down and they run in the mountains and make these arrests but you
know the amount of
money and effort that goes into it it's tremendous but the unfortunate part is
you give it a week maybe
maybe a month and then they're right back in business and so then you have to
replicate this you have to
start watching them and tracking them and just crazy can you tag them or
something or shoot them with
like a dart so you know where they are they don't allow that no no see that's
ridiculous to me a
little bit like it's almost like especially for the guys who are doing the smuggling
can you uh
because we'll tag a goose you know what i'm saying to find out where he's
having an egg but you won't
tag somebody who's freaking just running you know like anything across the
border yeah hope you enjoyed
that video and you can watch another and you can watch this one you can watch
this one different
options different choices some guy just brings you one option not this guy two
options watch one this one or this one
