Border Patrol agents in California discovered 26 illegal immigrants who were allegedly being smuggled into the United States in the back of a tractor-trailer and arrested the driver after he handed them a fake driver’s license.
A man driving a tractor-trailer who was driving to a Border Patrol checkpoint was stopped and agents carried out an immigration check. A canine detection team alerted agents to the rear of the trailer, according to a Feb. 13 news release from the agency.
