Agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Tucson sector arrested 800 migrants during the week ending January 10, according to a post on X by Chief Patrol Agent Sean McGoffin.
According to McGoffin, CBP agents made one significant arrest and had 129 federal criminal cases accepted during the week. They also disrupted seven human smuggling events, responded to six narcotics incidents, and conducted four rescues. Additionally, agents seized $11,290.
The Tucson sector covers much of Arizona, spanning approximately 262 border miles from the New Mexico border to Yuma County’s border. The sector is staffed by about 3,700 agents across nine stations located in Why, Casa Grande, Douglas, Bisbee, Nogales, Sonoita, Tucson, Three Points, and Wilcox. This information is available on the CBP’s Tucson sector webpage. Originally known as the Nogales Sector when it was created on July 1, 1924, the sector headquarters moved to Tucson two years later.
