EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Two Chinese nationals with expired U.S. visas have been charged with smuggling several migrants, also from China, near the Arizona-Mexico border.
Border agents on Friday stopped a silver Toyota Camry 5 miles north of Lukeville, Arizona, after mobile surveillance cameras recorded four individuals coming out of the brush and getting into the vehicle. Lukeville last year became the epicenter of illegal migration from African countries; border agents even set up tents next to a national park to process hundreds of migrants crossing from Mexico each day.

Agents observed the front-seat passenger of the Camry get out of the car and make a phone call before the vehicle proceeded north on State Route 85 towards Interstate 8 West.
