James and Kelly Jensen, along with their sons, were arrested in a dramatic raid on their mansion for allegedly conspired to smuggle over $300 million worth of stolen oil from Mexico to the US. Reports indicate that they used their company, Arroyo Terminals, to buy oil from businesses connected to Mexican criminal organizations. Federal agents seized their assets, which include their lavish home and luxury vehicles, during the operation. The Jensens have political ties, further complicating the case, as their arrest impacted the operations of Arroyo Terminals as well.
"They were unwilling to come out," Assistant US Attorney Michael Hess said of the family, which has deep political ties - Kelly's father, Gordon Walker, worked in the US Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Ronald Reagan..."
"The Jensens' company made payments for the crude oil to 'businesses in Mexico that operate only through the permission of Mexican criminal organizations,' according to the feds."
"Their sons Zachary and Max, were also allegedly in on it and were also indicted, though it is unclear if they were arrested at the mountainside mansion with their parents."
"Arroyo Terminals was raided by federal agents on the same day that the family was arrested, with employees being handcuffed and questioned about the business' practices."
