$175K Seized from 21 Romanian Migrants at New Mexico Immigration Checkpoint

El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents seized $175,000 in cash from a group of 21 Romanian nationals at an interior immigration checkpoint in New Mexico. The Romanians are linked to an organized crime network, a Border Patrol official stated.
El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Walter Slosar posted a report on X revealing the seizure of $175,000 in cash at the Alamogordo, New Mexico, interior checkpoint. Agents found the undeclared currency after the Romanian migrants initially declared $30,000.
Slosar said the 21 Romanian nationals are linked to an organized criminal ring.
Elsewhere in New Mexico, El Paso agents arrested a previously deported felon as he attempted to illegally re-enter the U.S. near Santa Teresa. The illegal alien’s criminal history includes a conviction for possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute.
