Syrian national apprehended trying to enter US illegally hiding in a train from Mexico
 [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] A 46-year-old Syrian man has been detained for attempting to enter the United States from Mexico illegally by hiding in a train, border protection agents say.Customs and Border Protection officials report agents apprehended the man last weekend, after a train from Mexico passed through an imaging system at the downtown Calexico port screening center in southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. "CPB officers noticed an anomaly on the lower side of the commercial railcar," leading to the compartment on the outside of the train where the man was hiding. The man was taken to a secure location, where officials confirmed, partly through fingerprinting, that he is a Syrian national without documentation authorizing his entry into the United States. "This apprehension highlights the fact that none of our inspections are routine, especially when people purposely attempt to avoid the process," port director David Salazar said in a statement Wednesday. "CBP puts a lot of effort in identifying, vetting and prosecuting people who just don’t want to abide by the legal process of entering our country." Posted by: Fred 2019-04-05 |
