TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -Border checkpoints and alert canines are two crucial parts of the infrastructure that U.S. Customs and Border Protection relies on to help secure the border. The last two days show exactly how, with agents stopping drug and human smuggling at the I-19 checkpoint near Amado.
Tucson Sector BP agents discovered three illegal migrants in the trunk of a vehicle on Monday, Oct. 17, thanks to an alert from a BP canine. According to the release BP agents arrested the driver, who is a U.S. citizen and is now facing federal charges. The three people found in the trunk are from Mexico and are being processed according to CBP policy.
