‘La Bestia’ Raided 153 Times by Mexican Immigration Officials During 2014

The train which became known as “La Bestia” was raided by Mexican immigration authorities 153 times during 2014. The announcement follows direct observation by Breitbart Texas of Mexican immigration officials cracking down on some of the Central Americans who swarmed into Texas last summer.
Mexican authorities made the announcement on March 3rd, according to a report on Fox News. After the massive invasion by Central Americans into Texas, Mexican immigration officials began tracking down common smuggling routes including the infamous train. The 153 raids on “La Bestia” were part of 758 immigration inspections conducted during the past year.
