Law enforcement agencies at the northern border face similar challenges from transnational smuggling organizations.

Often it is just an odd tip or a bit of luck that leads to unraveling a smuggling organization.

Tightening the border is potentially more damaging to small traffickers than it is to large smuggling organizations.

Some come via professional smuggling organizations and others buy documents on the black market.

Type 3 smuggling organizations include the airline, shipping, boating, and land transportation industries.

The smuggling organization invests in other businesses that offer smuggling opportunities.

For example, when the radar balloons are not working, the smuggling organization may take advantage of the situation and jump the border.

For instance, in Phoenix last month, a smuggling organization threatened to sever the hand of a 9-year-old girl if they did not receive a ransom.
