An internal email, obtained by The Citizen Journalism Foundation from an anonymous source, reveals that Justin M. De La Torre, Chief Patrol Agent for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) Yuma Sector, issued a memorandum directing agents to take an “aggressive posture” by pursuing all available prosecution charges.
Last week, Border Patrol whistleblower Agent Monica Cruz, formerly stationed in the Yuma Sector, exposed how USCBP routinely releases teenage smugglers, ages 14 to 17, back to Mexico after apprehension. With no legal consequences, these juveniles repeatedly return to smuggling operations, running the same routes time and again.
The memo highlights an update on “Prosecutorial Effectiveness and Maximization,” aimed at “expanding on all prosecution charges available,” ensuring consequences for illegal border activity. However, it fails to address the loophole that allows juvenile smugglers, known as “foot guides,” to operate without facing prosecution.
CJF reached out to Justin M. De La Torre to ask whether he is aware of this loophole, which enables underage smugglers to continue their criminal activity without facing charges. Instead, Acting Division Chief Matthew Arruda directed us to Public Relations, where we have yet to receive a response.

Rick Addante returned to Florida Tech from family leave and was given a choice: take the money or keep his soul.
“That night we went home, we felt free. It felt like we got out of Shawshank, without having to pay the price of your soul.”
On what he hopes his kids take away from it: “I hope to give them a lifetime of experiences seeing that their father, their mother, their family does the right thing and doesn’t cave to sacrifice their integrity.”
