US Customs and Border Protection Employee Arrested After Being Found Unconscious with Vomit on Car
A 31-year-old US Customs and Border Protection employee, Alfredo Mancillas Jr, has been charged with drunken driving after being arrested in Minnesota following a traffic stop. State troopers found Mancillas "covered in vomit" and unconscious in his car, prompting them to conduct a field sobriety test which he failed.
The incident occurred on Tuesday morning when Mancillas parked his vehicle in a no-parking zone and slumped over. Troopers approached him and noticed signs of intoxication, including a strong alcohol smell and bloodshot eyes. Mancillas was subsequently arrested and booked into a local jail on counts of third- and fourth-degree driving while intoxicated (DWI).
Mancillas is scheduled to appear in court on March 24th. His arrest comes amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota, where over 3,000 federal immigration agents descended on St Paul and Minneapolis earlier this month as part of Operation Metro Surge.
The incident has raised questions about the conduct of CBP employees, particularly in light of recent controversy surrounding the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. The operation led to the fatal shooting of two US citizens in Minneapolis in January, sparking widespread public backlash against the White House.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees CBP, stated that the agency is reviewing Mancillas's DWI arrest and emphasized the importance of honor and integrity among its employees. However, critics have accused the Trump administration of using immigration enforcement as a pretext to target marginalized communities and undermine trust in law enforcement.
Mancillas's arrest serves as a reminder of the need for accountability and oversight within government agencies, particularly when it comes to issues surrounding intoxication and public safety.

its so not cool that he was doing this on the job especially when there are people counting on him like students relying on teachers who actually care 
i feel bad for the guys family but at the same time i think it was really irresponsible of him to be driving while intoxicated and put his life and others at risk 
anyway i hope he gets help and learns from this mistake so next time he can just call an Uber or somethin 
stuff! Can't believe some CBP employees are allowed to go out and get hammered like they own the place 
. It's not just about them, it's about the community that has to deal with the consequences of their actions - like who gets hurt in a drunk driving accident, for crying out loud?! 
. And to make matters worse, this guy's arrest is being used as some kind of excuse to justify the Trump admin's immigration crackdown 
. Like, no way! We need to hold our government officials accountable for their actions, not try to deflect from the real issues at hand 
? It's like, what kind of message does that send?!
. And the fact that it happened in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge is just weird - like, is this really the kind of thing you want to remember when you're trying to make a difference in people's lives? 
Anyway, I do think it's cool that the agency is reviewing Mancillas's arrest and saying they'll get their act together... but at the same time, we need to make sure our law enforcement folks are held accountable for their actions 
. sounds like he was way beyond drunk behind the wheel... how do you even manage that kind of mistake? not to mention the whole operation metro surge thing, it's just another example of the administration trying to use immigration as a way to control people's lives... what's really going on here is that they're more concerned with making headlines than keeping their employees safe 
.
and on a more serious note, I do think it's super important for our government agencies to prioritize public safety and oversight, especially when it comes to issues like intoxication and enforcement practices. so yeah, let's all take a deep breath and try not to jump to conclusions just yet 
. I'm not surprised tho, we've been hearing about a lot of misconduct from certain people in power lately, and it seems like no one's above the law 
.
3k agents swooping in on St Paul & Minneapolis is kinda dramatic, feels like a scene from The Usual Suspects . on a more serious note, gotta wonder how this dude ended up DUI... was it work-related stress or just a Tuesday 
Like, priorities, man? We need more accountability and less scrutiny on people trying to do their jobs. It's all so messed up
