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.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
