Immigration officials became suspicious during a regular border check when the driver of the car, a 27-year-old resident of Mexicali, got nervous during their inspection. Officers reportedly found a piece of wood under the front bumper – and when they removed the grille assembly, they found a Chinese woman.
The woman was treated at a medical facility and is being held in custody as a witness in the case against the man, who is charged with alien smuggling.
The attempt was the second in a week that border control had caught.
