If convicted of bribery, Mendoza-Torres faces up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"337\" data-end=\"671\">This incident highlights the Trump administration\u2019s ongoing crackdown on illegal immigration, which has led to a significant drop in border encounters and an increase in arrests of migrants with criminal records. U.S. Customs and Border Protection also seized large amounts of cocaine at the Texas border, leading to multiple arrests.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"952\">The administration\u2019s enforcement efforts extend to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which recently arrested a Cartel del Golfo member in Texas. Structural changes within ICE have occurred as well, with officials reassigned for not meeting deportation and arrest targets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"1106\"
