Three illegal aliens were found in the trunk of a vehicle during an immigration inspection near Sonoita Station, Arizona, on July 20.
Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents went in to stop a 1998 Toyota Camry driving on State Route 83 to check the driver’s immigration status. The driver appeared to be traveling alone but was later revealed to be a smuggler.
During the vehicle inspection agents obtained consent to check the trunk and after opening, found three adult Mexican males who tried to enter America illegally, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The driver of the vehicle was a 56-year-old South Tucson woman who was arrested by the agents at the scene for smuggling. Agents then seized the vehicle.
