YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities arrested a Mexican national in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program after he was caught allegedly attempting to smuggle four other Mexican nationals into the country in a truck.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Border Patrol agents stationed Monday at the Yuma Sector arrested a 26-year-old Mexican immigrant.
Agents spotted footprints of four people near the Colorado River in a rural area south of Yuma.
Other agents followed the group to the truck and arrested them as they drove.
