MILAN, N.M. (KRQE) – More information has been released about a group of inmates accused of running drugs inside a New Mexico federal facility. The feds busted the group that was getting help from the outside. “It's true, there are many challenges that come with the Cibola Correctional Facility,” said United States Marshal New Mexico David Barnett at a press conference in Albuquerque on Friday. Barnett highlighted challenges with federal detainees being held west of Grants. The feds said they're now cracking down on crime inside the Cibola Correctional Center.  Bernalillo County offers sign language interpreters to voters “When folks are incarcerated and, in our care, they are truly in our care. We are responsible for their safety. We are responsible for them being housed in a way that's constitutional, that maintains their dignity,” said U.S. Attorney for New Mexico Alexander Uballez. The jail in Milan has more than 440 federal inmates. This week the FBI and U.S. Marshalls conducted search warrants in detainees' cells at the facility and multiple homes across New Mexico. It’s part of an effort to uncover a drug trafficking network accused of bringing meth, fentanyl, and more into the federal facility. “There are a number of ways in which contraband has entered through the correctional facility. One is staff introduction. That's through guards or other staff there who bring it into the facility for distribution amongst inmates," Uballez. The feds think that's been happening at the facility for years with drugs being smuggled in people's bodies or being flown in with drones. Some of those drugs the feds said were being thrown over the jail's fence. “If you go over to the CoreCivic facility, you will see a fence that's really close to a truck stop and gas station from which people can throw objects over into the yard,” said Uballez. The FBI searched 13 homes mostly in Albuquerque on Wednesday with links to inmates’ families and gangs. They seized 15 guns, fentanyl, and nearly two dozen cell phones. Man sentenced for helping cover up Albuquerque murder So far, two inmates, Lupe Vargas and Edward Vallez have been indicted in the case. Investigators believe they're gang members and that one of them had their spouse use a fishing rod to throw a drug-filled package into the prison. The spouse is among nine people now charged in the case. If convicted of smuggling a drug package into the Cibola County Correctional Center, she faces up to 20 years in prison. The feds said they're still investigating. In response, the U.S. Marshals Service said it's working with new technology to help find on-body contraband. They're also putting new netting around the building to avoid gangs dropping contraband into the facility with drones.
