The U.S. Border Patrol's El Paso Sector has issued a warning to rideshare drivers about the risks posed by transnational criminal organizations. Smugglers are using rideshare apps to facilitate illegal activities, often booking rides in remote areas and using third-party accounts. Drivers are advised to be vigilant for signs of smuggling, such as passengers in dirty clothing or groups exceeding vehicle limits. Accepting these rides can lead to detention and felony charges. The Border Patrol urges drivers to prioritize their safety by canceling suspicious rides and reporting any concerns to law enforcement or the Border Patrol hotline.
