Four illegal immigrants commit fraud

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers apprehended four illegal immigrants who were attempting to commit fraud and go undetected by intermingling with legitimate travelers.

During the first week of July, four unrelated illegal immigrants were apprehended at the Douglas Port of Entry. Each one was attempting to use fraudulent means in order to live in the United Sates. CBP officers detected the attempted intent during the screening process and took the illegal immigrant into custody. The immigrant was identified as a 51-year-old woman from Chihuahua, Mexico. The woman had obtained a valid Border Crossing Document that only authorizes the holder to visit the United States. The CBP officers discovered that the woman had been living and working illegally in the U.S. for the past ten years. The woman was processed for removal from the United States and sent back to Mexico.

The second immigrant was identified as a 49-year-old man from Sonora, Mexico. The man had no identifying documents and was claiming to be a United States citizen. CBP officers discovered that the man was actually an Aggravated Felon and had an extensive criminal history for dangerous drugs.

The third immigrant was identified as a 25-year-old man from Sinaloa, Mexico. The CBP officers discovered that the man had extensive criminal history for aiding and abetting illegal immigrants into the United States. The man was assuming the identity of someone else, in an attempt to avoid detection.

The fourth immigrant was identified as a 31-year-old man from Michoacán, Mexico. CBP officers found that the man had several serious immigration violations and had been living and working illegally in the United States.

The last three people were taken into custody and presented for prosecution before a Federal Magistrate.

Since June 1, CBP officers have apprehended 52 illegal immigrants at the Douglas POE who were attempting to live in the United States using fraudulent means.
