CORPUS CHRISTI (News Release) - On November 19, Corpus Christi Border Patrol agents responded to a call for assistance from a Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office deputy at a vehicle stop in Port Lavaca. The deputy conducted a vehicle stop on a white GMC Sierra hauling a travel trailer and encountered seven subjects hiding within the trailer. Responding agents determined the seven individuals were migrants from Mexico and Guatemala and placed them under arrest. The deputy took custody of the vehicle and driver to pursue state smuggling charges. Agents later discovered through record checks that one migrant was previously convicted of sexual assault of a minor and sentenced to five years confinement in Alabama.
