Calexico, CA. May 19, 2008 - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers conducting inspections at the Calexico East port of entry cargo facility late last week discovered two undocumented Mexican males hidden within the sleeping area of a tractor trailer. The tractor trailer was driven by a Mexican male driver, identified as a Free and Secure Trade (FAST) Program driver, entering the United States from Mexico.
The discovery happened at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 15, 2008 at the Calexico East cargo facility, when a tractor trailer entered the cargo compound for a secondary inspection. As a CBP officer conducted the inspection of the tractor’s cabin area, the officer noticed what appeared to be a body covered entirely with a blanket behind the passenger seat in the sleeping area.

The passenger was removed from the sleeping cabin and escorted to the secondary office for further processing. The officer went back to the tractor to conclude the inspection in the cabin area and discovered yet another body covered entirely with a blanket behind the driver seat in the same area. This passenger was also removed and escorted to the secondary office for further processing.

During the secondary inspection, it was revealed that both passengers were undocumented immigrants with no legal documents to enter, reside, or pass through the U.S.

All three Mexican nationals were arrested by Customs and Border Protection prosecution officers and transported to the Imperial County jail to await arraignment.
