Over the weekend, Border Patrol agents working in the Yuma Sector apprehended five U.S. citizens smuggling 12 illegal immigrants in four different vehicle stops.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, at approximately 5 a.m. on Friday, agents from the Wellton Station stopped a Chevrolet Suburban traveling eastbound on Interstate 8 near Dateland, Arizona. The driver, a 36-year-old U.S. citizen from Yuma, was smuggling six migrants, who were found hiding on the backseat and in the rear cargo area.

Later that morning, agents pulled over an eastbound Mitsubishi Outlander rental car on Interstate 8 just east of Wellton. Agents determined that the driver, a 27-year-old male U.S. citizen from California, was smuggling two migrants.
