The male driver and female passenger, both U.S. citizens, were taken to the Brian A. Terry Station. The truck was seized as part of the investigation. The three Mexican nationals, who had all been previously deported, were arrested and will undergo processing for reinstatement of their prior removal orders. They will also serve as material witnesses in the human smuggling case against the driver. The female passenger will not face prosecution at this time.
