Texas Department of Public Safety troopers have captured a member of the Paisa gang—an independent drug trafficking organization.
40-year-old Jesus Alejandro is an illegal alien from Mexico who was confirmed to be a member of the gang. He was apprehended along with two other teenage smugglers.
One of the two teenage smugglers is named Sebastian Garcia, 17. The other was aged 16.
The trio was apprehended in Sullivan City by the DPS brush team, who were conducting an anti-smuggling operation with the U.S. Border Patrol. They had previously guided a group of illegal aliens across the Rio Grande in a river transport vehicle.
