Federal agents in El Paso have arrested a female Mexican national for allegedly buying over 11K rounds of ammunition for Mexican drug cartels. The arrest came on the heels of an investigation by DHS involving reports of groups of people buying massive amounts of ammunition at local sporting goods stores. According to Breitbart Texas:
As part of their investigation, HSI determined that from August 7 to October 5, Antunez illegally purchased 10,900 ammunition rounds in 12 separate trips. The cost of the ammunition purchased by Antunez totaled more than $4,800—she had purchased 7.62×39 (typically used in AK-47 rifles ) and 9mm (very popular handgun caliber).

US Border Patrol in Edinburg, Texas have arrested a man who is believed to have crossed the border multiple times for the purpose of robbing female illegal aliens at gunpoint. The man would then swim back to Mexico to avoid capture and then repeat the whole process a week later. The case began in September when authorities learned about the robberies being carried out in an reas south of the border city of Mission known as Rincon Village. According to Breitbart Texas:
As previously reported, Rincon Village is an area that has been used by Gulf cartel-tied human smugglers in order to bring across women and children who are generally from countries other than Mexico. These people are usually fingerprinted, photographed, and released with a court notice set for a later date. The Rincon Village area is one of the territories controlled by the Gulf Cartel in Reynosa.
