U.S. Border Patrol agents in Blythe, California, intercepted a significant cache of weapons, including 25 AK-47 style rifles, believed to be destined for Transnational Criminal Organizations in Mexico. The seizure, the largest in recent Yuma Sector history, involved the arrest of a 25-year-old U.S. citizen and a juvenile in possession of the firearms. This event highlights the ongoing issue of weapons trafficking to Mexican cartels, with assistance from American citizens, as part of a broader problem of smuggling arms across the U.S.-Mexico border. The operation is part of a larger effort, Operation Apollo, aimed at combating fentanyl trafficking through intelligence gathering and collaboration among various law enforcement agencies.
