US arrests three Pakistanis at Arizona border

LAHORE: Three Pakistani men were apprehended after crossing into the US from Mexico in the Tucson sector. 

Sources including official confirmation from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) revealed the men were in fact apprehended and are currently in US federal custody. 

Breitbart Texas sources first released the information and CBP confirmed via email. CPB responded: “US Border Patrol agents in Nogales, AZ, apprehended three Pakistani nationals on November 11.”

As a standard procedure, agents processed the individuals and checked their identities against numerous law enforcement and national security related databases. Record checks revealed no derogatory information about the individuals. The individuals are currently in federal custody while they await outcome of immigration cases. 

Additional information on the individuals was obtained by federal agents working under the umbrella of CBP, but it is important to note that the additional details were not confirmed by CBP. “One of them had a shit load of hits from a bunch of places he’s been. He had entered and exited numerous countries that were not in his route to the US. This raises red flags because people leaving a foreign country to come here usually take the quickest route, but one of them did not,” said one of the sources. “One of the men had his hair dyed blonde to disguise his appearance and all of the men spoke perfect English.”

Breitbart Texas previously broke the news that five men from Pakistan and one from Afghanistan were caught within 17 miles of the US-Mexico border in the same vicinity. In that case, the FBI later confirmed  that the details from Breitbart Texas sources were correct.
