(The National Pulse)—Border Patrol agents have arrested a man they believe to be a leader of Mexican cartel hitmen in Michigan, who has prior arrests for several crimes. Detroit Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Morris announced the arrest of Melquiades Salgado-Garza during an immigration enforcement operation. Salgado-Garza’s criminal background reportedly includes burglary, forgery, and previous immigration violations.
Additionally, over the weekend, agents at the Sault Ste. Marie Station apprehended a suspected member of the Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang known for its violent activities, including taking over entire apartment complexes in U.S. cities.
In a separate incident, Border Patrol agents from the Marysville Station arrested a Mexican national who has faced ten prior arrests for illegal entry into the United States since 1999. Authorities are currently processing this individual for removal.
Since the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump, border czar Tom Homan and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have orchestrated a wave of arrests, taking over a thousand illegals into custody, including serious criminals.
The arrest of the alleged cartel hitman comes amid claims that the cartels may use explosive drones to target Border Patrol agents. President Donald J. Trump has already declared the cartels foreign terrorist entities, opening the path to U.S. military action against them.
