tracks will be easier to locate.

undocumented aliens through rough desert terrain.

aliens are employed on a daily basis.
The 4X4 vehicle is the backbone of the Deming
Station's vehicle fleet.

Vehicle stops are probably the most dangerous
activity of any law enforcement officer.
Traffic Check has been described "as a refreshing
change of pace".
Agents patrol the remote mountain roads of the Gila National Forest to deter those trying to circumvent the traffic check points.
