A suspected smuggler breached an Air Force Base Friday while evading authorities, a week after a migrant hopped a fence at the same military base while evading Border Patrol agents.
A suspected human smuggler breached the Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas on Friday while evading authorities, a week after a suspected illegal immigrant breached a fence at the same military base while on the run from the U.S. Border Patrol. The suspect led Texas Department of Public Safety officers on a high-speed chase in Val Verde County, Lt. Chris Olivarez said. During the chase, the suspect drove onto the base property and continued to evade authorities.
Border Patrol agents deployed canine teams and caught the teen after an hour of searching. Agents also arrested four other adult men who were in the stopped vehicle. All are believed to be illegal immigrants. Laughlin Air Force Base said it established a cordon adjacent to the base housing to ensure the safety of base residents during the search.
