Newly arrived migrants linked to crimes in El Paso including drugs, theft and gun threats

Migrants in El Paso, Texas — the current epicenter of the border crisis — have been linked to serious and violent crimes including car theft, gun threats and drug trafficking, according to local police.
The latest incident involved a Venezuelan migrant who was attempting to sell cocaine to other border crossers Sunday, according to El Paso Police Department. The alleged dealer, Yovani Jose Sanchez, was turned in by other migrants who are camped out and sleeping near the city’s Sacred Heart Church. The 22-year-old was booked into the county jail, while four other migrants accused of being associated with his business were turned over to US Border Patrol.
Separately, a Venezuelan man and woman were arrested by officers Wednesday when they were driving the wrong way down a street in a stolen car, the cops said.

The police department did not respond to The Post’s request for comment, but said in a release it had increased the number of officers in areas where migrants congregate. El Paso has a reputation for being a safe large city with crime rates below the national average. One study analyzing FBI data even found it was the third-safest large city in the nation to live in.
El Paso has been dealing with a huge influx of migrants throughout 2022, releasing between 3,000 and 10,000 asylum seekers into the US a week. In December, the mayor declared a state of emergency, as the thousands of migrants streaming across the US-Mexico boundary — both legally and illegally — overwhelmed the city’s services, with things reaching a boiling point.
