EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A Florida trucker allegedly crammed 15 unauthorized migrants in the cab of his semi to sneak them past a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in New Mexico.
Border agents on Tuesday night arrested Raimundo Gomez as he became nervous during questioning at the Interstate 10 checkpoint west of Las Cruces, N.M.
Court records show the driver of a red Freightliner tractor pulling a flatbed trailer presented proof of lawful immigration status and his Florida commercial driver’s license. But he was at a loss for words when an agent asked if he was transporting passengers.
