Nogales Station Border Patrol agents arrested a U.S. citizen after finding two illegal aliens locked in the trunk of a rented Chevrolet Impala at the Immigration Checkpoint on Interstate 19 Thursday afternoon.
An agent working the primary inspection lane directed a 31-year-old Chandler man for a secondary inspection. When agents opened the vehicle’s trunk, they discovered a 19-year-old Honduran woman and a 31-year-old Mexican man inside.
Both illegal aliens were transported to the Nogales Station and processed for immigration violations. The driver was arrested and charged with human smuggling.
