The 20-year-old woman was arrested Nov. 4 at the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge, which connects to Reynosa, Mexico. She was driving a car in the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection Trusted Traveler Program (SENTRI) rapid passage lane, CBP said.
“The Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection Trusted Traveler Program is designed to allow vetted persons to make entry through our ports of entry quicker as they have been deemed low-risk. They are still subject for inspection and our diligent officers are always on the lookout for narcotics and other prohibited items,” Port Director Carlos Rodriguez said.
