‘Alien smuggling’ raid in east El Paso leads to several arrests, sounds of explosions
EL PASO, Texas -- Authorities executed a search warrant at a house in east El Paso in connection with an "alien smuggling" investigation, according to a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
It happened Tuesday just after 6 a.m. in the 11900 block of Royal Woods Drive.
ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa told ABC-7 that several people were arrested, but she was unable to provide any further details.
Some nearby residents told ABC-7 they heard explosions - but officials have not confirmed if they were gunshots or stun grenades, which are non-deadly explosive devices usually used against barricaded suspects.
U.S. Homeland Security, Border Patrol, El Paso police and the department's SWAT team were all involved in executing the search warrant.
Get with the program KVIA. Instead of stun grenades they are called flash bang devices. Commonly used by law enforcement and the military.
How are you? I convinced KVIA to allow my comments to post.
I appreciate them doing that- and, we’re Alberto free!
No we’re not:(( He got on again as “fero2amadmikegeedubb.” I feel slighted, he left me out!
He’s kinda like a dingleberry on a dog, hard to get rid of and still just a piece of dung.
Oh cr .. ud. I hadn’t seen him since the switch over. Dang.

Welcome. Nope not quite Alberto free. The moron troll finally showed up this past week as fero2amadmikegeedubb and Daniel Flores. Just as rabid as ever with his attacks on us all.
Nah, alberta is a nobody, maybe even a Russian bot. I’m convinced nobody can be that ignorant and twisted, well, except for Veronica and bayto.
Why is “alien smuggling” in quotation marks?
Thank you, KVIA! We appreciate you!
La Tuna has a house full of these types. They’ll be putting decals and border patrol and us Government vehicles for the next five or ten years, or making brooms.
Straight to comments, missing old crew feud.
