“Social media has become a popular recruitment tool for the cartels. Officials say they are seeing more teens and young adults transporting migrants from the U.S. - Mexico border,” said Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels.
A startling fact : Almost 99% of juvenile smugglers caught in Cochise County were found on apps, according to Dannels.
“I had a couple students from a high school in Phoenix and they both admitted that was prevalent information to come to Cochise County and smuggle. It’s lucrative because of the money they get but they don’t look at the big picture — what they are being involved with. And that’s the international crime and a criminal cartel that does not respect them or anybody.”
Instead they’re down here in Cochise County and other counties committing criminal activity with with a very violent criminal cartel. “If mom or dad or their guardians know they are down here smuggling then yes, we go after charges. I like the slogan, know where your kids are at 10 o’clock at night check their bedrooms at one in the morning or two in the morning," Dannels said."If they’re not there, give us a call. Give law enforcement a call. Let’s find your kid. I don’t want them in this county smuggling, 'cause they are putting themselves in harm's way.
