El Paso man, Mexican citizen face weapons-smuggling charges

11 AK-47 assault rifles among firearms, ammunition suspected to be smuggled into Mexico

On Dec. 23 ICE special agents arrested Begmar Ivan Ruiz-Zuniga, 30, a citizen of Mexico, and Miguel Angel Dominguez, 25, a U.S. citizen, in an East El Paso home. Both men are charged with illegally smuggling weapons into Mexico from the United States.

Other agencies participating in the ICE-led ongoing investigation include: the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); the El Paso Police Department; and the El Paso Sheriff's Office.

Authorities seized the following items: 11 AK-47 7.62mm X 39mm assault rifles, one upper receiver for an AR-15 assault rifle, two military-style bayonets, ballistic body armor, and miscellaneous military equipment. Among the 5,664 rounds seized were 2,560 rounds of Russian ammunition, 70 rounds of law enforcement 12-gauge shotgun demo rounds, seven M-16 ammunition magazines, and 20 rounds of armor-piercing .223 caliber ammunition.

....

"Especially considering the ongoing bloody war between feuding drug cartels south of the border, this weapons seizure is significant," said Julio Velez, acting special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in El Paso. "This seizure highlights the importance of ICE's mission to enforce the nation's arms export control laws."

Excellent!!

Now that's law enforcement. Fry those bastards.

btw, who the hell wants an AR15 upper receiver? it's just a hunk of aluminum about 6" long and about a quarter pound. the controlled item is the "lower receiver".

These are the stats by which an estimate can be made as to how many weapons are being smuggled into Mexico from the states. If 230,000 vehicles go across into Mexico everyday and only 10 percent are being checked...

A motorhome!

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was established in March 2003 as the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security. ICE is comprised of five integrated divisions that form a 21st century law enforcement agency with broad responsibilities for a number of key homeland security priorities.

Way to go, Jorge'!
