Did I miss something? Criminals always head down to Mexico- it's a thing. Like how liberals always threaten to move to Canada- it's a thing.

Sheeeit. I mean he did make it to Mexico. Just a matter of crossing the numerous check points in El Paso. Guess he didn't have the same amount of agency as our illegals

El Paso is not in Mexico.

EL PASO — A tip from an unnamed El Paso resident led to the arrest of a Milwaukee double murder suspect listed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list Sunday morning in El Paso, officials said.

Now Putin's operatives are interfering with our law enforcement. How long before the Russians run everything here? Someday soon you'll take a seat at your favorite watering-hole and some guy named Pyotr will tell you, "No whiskey, vodka."

The 34-year-old man was crossing back into the U.S. on Wednesday through the Paso Del Norte bridge in a 2004 Dodge Dart.

Three Albuquerque men accused of burglarizing vehicles at West El Paso gyms

EPPD officers arrested three Albuquerque men allegedly involved in a crime spree that began with the burglary of multiple vehicles at two west-side gyms.

Following initial reports, undercover officers began a surveillance operation at two major retail stores based on the suspects' pattern of activities, police said.

The night of May 9, 2017, a police officer saw a man running out of an exit at a store. The officer recognized the suspect, 29-year-old Cordero Jefferson, from previous cases. Jefferson entered a black Taurus and sped away, police said.

Officers followed the Taurus and requested a traffic stop as the vehicle entered I-10 West from Mesa.

Responding patrol units found the Taurus at N. Desert and Redd, where it had collided with another vehicle.

As the officers approached, three suspects ran away on foot in separate directions. Officers eventually arrested the suspects at a nearby strip mall.
