Fake UPS Van Used To Smuggle Illegal Immigrants In Southern California



The fake UPS van that U.S. Border Patrol agents say they stopped last Friday, and found 13 illegal immigrants.

 NILAND, Calif. — Authorities say it was a special delivery indeed: 13 illegal immigrants stuffed in a phony UPS van.
The U.S. Border Patrol says agents in Southern California stopped the van last Friday as it tried to circumvent a highway checkpoint near Niland, an Imperial Valley community near the Mexican border.
Officials say they found 13 Mexican citizens hiding inside the back of the van, which looked like a legitimate United Parcel Service delivery vehicle.
A 21-year-old U.S. man was arrested on suspicion of smuggling.
