ICE plans for next mass migrant crackdown reportedly leaked

In a small town in Alabama, the police force uncovered a case of illegal aliens trafficking a significant amount of cocaine when an officer pulled over their vehicle for a minor traffic violation.

Calera Police Chief David Hyche explained that during a routine traffic stop due to the vehicle not having a tag, the officer observed grounds for a search, leading to the discovery of 46 pounds of cocaine.

He said the monetary value of the drugs will be determined after Homeland Security Investigations is done examining what was seized.

The two individuals in the vehicle, both undocumented immigrants from Colombia, were taken into custody and charged with cocaine trafficking. Chief Hyche further revealed that one of the men was also wanted in Atlanta for drug trafficking and for missing a court appearance.

Though traffic stops for minor violations have become unpopular in recent years, Hyche advocated for them, describing instances where minor traffic violations led to the rescue of two children in danger.

“Many departments around the U.S. have ceased making stops for minor traffic violations. I have repeatedly spoken out against this and other instances where law enforcement leaders apologize for enforcing the law or change policy to appease critics,” Hyche said. “We in law enforcement don’t make laws, we enforce them.”

The police chief also said criminal activity is encouraged by “weak and passive law enforcement.”

Hyche also compared today’s presence of drugs to when he began his law enforcement career decades ago, stating that drugs like cocaine and heroin are now cheap and easy to find because they’re pouring across the border.

“If we control the borders, the dope would be expensive,” Hyche said. “The solution has to be at the border. It can’t be here.”

Shelby County District Attorney Matt Casey thanked the police department “for their great work protecting our community” and said the two men are being retained on $10 million bond.

The police chief said he believes this bust is the largest in Shelby County history.
