Two women were arrested recently for allegedly hiding illegal immigrants in a suitcase and a duffel bag to try to smuggle them through a Border Patrol checkpoint, according to court documents released this week.

The women, ages 50 and 19, were each charged with bringing in and harboring immigrants who had entered the country illegally.

The alleged smuggling attempt occurred at 1:20 a.m. March 27 at the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in Freer, when an agent conducted an immigration inspection on five occupants of a Chevrolet TrailBlazer.
