On July 25th, 2019 the officials from the 1st Marine Division worked with military police and NCIS to carry out the arrest of 16 Marines.ÂÂ
The arrests stem from allegations that the accused Marines were part of a smuggling activities on the US/Mexico border.ÂÂ
Newly leaked video shows the accused Marines being arrested after lining up in formation.ÂÂ
A spokesman for the 1st Marine Division, 1st Lt. Cameron Edinburgh, said in an email.“The video was filmed as a way to document the detainments that took place on July 25, 2019 in an unbiased, non-editorialized manner,†Edinburgh said. “To protect the rights of the accused, the video has not been released by the government to the public, nor do we intend to release it at this time.â€Â
Lawyers of two accused Marines deemed it pretrial punishment and unlawful command influence. The trials of all are pending.

Were they smuggling the drugs for the CIA? The CIA employs people to smuggle drugs into the US. Maybe the used the marines?
We had a guy arrested during a company formation once. Our 1stSgt brought the company to the position of attention, then about face, parade rest. We stayed like that, back to he guy being arrested, until it was over, then returned to normal formation.
Are these them military hero’s everybody talks about?
Ah you know the 1stSGT had another hour speech before libo call…. yut yut
How about company dismissed. I sir yes sir. Dismissed. Then do your want to be work. Total disrespect. Half former veterans.
Here is some more info on this horrible and scary situation. https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2019/07/25/16-camp-pendleton-marines-arrested-by-ncis-during-battalion-formation-for-alleged-human-smuggling-and-drug-offenses/The marines were bringing drugs into our country and also charging immigrants 1,000$ per person to sneak them into our country. Even a Corporal was involved. info What other horrible things were these “soldiers†doing at the border? Raping immigrants? Killing them? Blackmailing people? These are the people we are supposed to trust and respect. If these men were caught there must be others doing it too and maybe much worse. I hope this situation and the entire group of border patrol workers are watched much more closely from now on? Where were their higher ups when all this stuff was happening??
😂😂😂
I understand breaking a law and getting arrested, but getting arrested in front of your battalion must be a huge embarrassment.
I started seeing the homeboy around 1993 take trips to the border and coming back with a lot of money
The story was they smuggled everything thru military check points…..avoiding immigration
I served in Marine Corps, half the men in my platoon were gang members, and some had kills before they even joined the infantry. Just because youre in the military does not mean every man is honorable.
All these dishonorable discharges (they gave up their right to be called Marine or Veteran) had to all be working together in this crime. So when all of them are called in 'award presentation' manner…..they had to know they were getting busted.
This whole mess left the Corps with nearly a platoon just gone.
Shameful. They deserved this public display of disgrace.
Stand at attention and be arrested.
Lame video
If it was to document it for leadership review why was it released. I think who ever made the decision to release it should also receive some NJP. And who ever made the decision to do this shake down in public is not fit to command. And the Sgt Major is not worth his salt to go along with it. I am not against the Marines being held accountable. If the lawyers are worth their salt they will file some lawsuits and get some money out of the USMC and send a message back to this Commander that his upward momentum is done.
A disgrace to their nation and to the Corps, they are betrayers to their nation and don’t deserve to wear that uniform and that Rank insignia.
Disband the Marine Corps! The marines are outdated and service no purpose. What the marines can do, can be done better by Army Rangers. Semper Criminals. Yes, I was a former marine.
PS. F*k the marine corps. Yes, l lower case the 'M' in marines. Also, marines are soldiers. Haha
All these damn civies in the comments acting all tough and shit. Fuck all of you.
GOOD
I believe the open arrests of those Marine's in front of the Battilon was very appropriate.
They need to be Shamed.
Human traiffing.
Are you kidding me?
The Marine Corps frees the oppressed.
Not repress them…
That wasn’t meant for the capture, that was a message to the rest of the Corps that such behavior will not go undetected and unpunished.
If found guilty the traitors need to be taken out back and shot.
When I was in the Corps… there was a saying that we repeated often….. "Death before Dishonor" Never Dishonor the Corps, yourself, your family, your God! Stay Squared Away!! Obviously this group will be dishonorably discharged! Good luck finding jobs that pay you dumb shits, fucking embarrassments
Half of these guys are actually guilty . The other half probably heard about it , had conversations, or knew something of it . Maybe had nothing to do with it . Damn it's the UCMJ ypu have yo deal with all you need is someone saying I heard or saw something to get arrested .
Ohhh 😮. I heard about this story, but didn’t know if it was true.
These aren't Marines. These are anti-American illegal aliens using the US military for their anti-American Democrat agenda.
What the hell were they doing smuggling crap over the border for anyway??
These are the types in uniform that followed in John McCain's foot steps. We now know where that got him…
traitors
But the DEA smuggles and distributes illegal stuff daily.
No ass chewing first!?
What a disgraceful 😕
What they're really saying is fuck you Trump stupid fuck
This sickens me to no end. This isn't what our military is supposed to do. Shame to see this go this way but wrong is wrong. Maybe busting them in front of their peers will be the wake-up call they need
