Last month officers have caught 150 illegals in Ark County are these the illegals activists do not want?
ROCKPORT–Police in Rockport seized marijuana and captured thirteen illegal immigrants in the aftermath of an immigrant bailout today. It happened near Highway 35 in Rockport as officers were running a special operation aimed at stopping human and drug trafficking.
Rockport Police officers were working Operation Stonegarden on Highway 35. This traffic stop showed the latest trend by traffickers to get their loads north to Houston.
“Our officers were out and about and about 8:30 this morning they observed a vehicle with an equipment violation,” said Lt. Larry Sinclair of the Rockport Police Department.
Officers say two people bailed out from a Ford truck on this dead-end street near Highway 35 in Rockport.
When they arrived, they discovered 22 pounds of marijuana inside a backpack. In the bed of the truck, they found 13 undocumented immigrants.
Officers are seeing more of these traffic stops where traffickers are sending both immigrants and drugs together.
“They’re trying to become more efficient, killing two birds with one stone,” Lt. Sinclair said. “They’ll run a load of any type of contraband they are trying to move into the country. Be it, marijuana, like we have here, or cocaine or methamphetamines in addition to bringing up illegal aliens.”
Commanders said traffickers are using Highway 35 to avoid law enforcement on Highway 77 and 281.
So Rockport Police received a $400,000 federal grant to work Operation Stonegarden. This two year grant is allowing them to pay officers overtime to work the highway and to buy equipment to fight drug and human trafficking.
Since the operation started last month, officers have caught 150 undocumented immigrants in Aransas County. Those immigrants have come from many countries, including Turkey, Croatia, Mexico and Honduras.

Last month officers have caught 150 illegals in Ark County are these the illegals the activists do not want pulled over ?
Well, good job by those officers. 150 illegals nabbed means 150 jobs available for U.S. citizens…Though this is really nothing to write home about, since now there are still 10,999.885 illegals out there roaming freely in U.S. driving drunk-killing people, stealing jobs from Americans, welshing off of health care & school systems…But 150 is better than nothing..
Yes those are the ones that activists do not fight for. No need to have actual criminals pull our case down. We only fight for the ones that have a clean criminal status, want to legalize and pay their share of taxes.
no no no, this can’t be true. illegals are doing wonderful things for this country. why look at california, it is a thriving booming state. it’s doing better then the rest of the USA. (sarcasm) this kind of mess is not going to stop until our govt puts their foot down. we need to keep calling, emailing and writing letters to let them know we are not happy with illegals being here. we need to demand illegals be kicked out asap.
This is the ones the activist fight for, else why would they complain every time any illegal is arrested, no matter the crime. They always have some excuse. Keep deporting them Joe. We need to get rid of this invasion.
