The U.S. Attorneys Office has stated in the past that it does not have the resources needed to fully prosecute arrested coyotes. For example. the Border Patrol was instructed to release known coyote Antonio AmparoLopez. an individual with 21 aliases and 20 arrests. Releasing a criminal such as this is completely unacceptable. and is demoralizing to the Border Patrol agents who work so hard to make the arrests in the first place. I. along with Chairman SENSENBRENNER. recently met with U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Darryl Griffin and U.S. Attorney Carol Lam in San Diego to discuss these problems. Our meetings demonstrated the differences in opinion between those who arrest human smugglers and those who prosecute them.
