An undocumented immigrant whose family claims she drove into the entrance of a San Diego military base by mistake could now face deportation.
Last month, Ana Camero, 64, took a different route home from her job in La Jolla as a restaurant dishwasher. After stopping at a gas station on Washington Street, she mistakenly drove into the Marine Corps Recruit Depot near the San Diego airport.
Following routine procedure, military personnel at the entrance asked for identification so she could turn around. But Camero did not have proper documentation. This prompted a call to the U.S. Border Patrol, and Camero was detained, her family said.
“Anyone can make a mistake,” said her daughter, Melissa Hernández. “She wasn’t a threat, it was just a wrong turn.”
