DACA recipient caught trying to smuggle immigrants near Las Cruces
DONA ANA COUNTY, N.M. — A woman who is in the country thanks to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was arrested Monday morning
after she attempted to take three immigrants to Albuquerque through the Interstate 25 checkpoint near Las Cruces, according to court records.
Irania Martinez-Martinez-Martinez picked up the men at a McDonald's in El Paso and then took them to her house so that they could shower, according to court documents.
The woman who, according to court documents, was aware the men were undocumented, did not know how much she would be paid for taking the men to Albuquerque
but the men told her they would give her $200 for gas.
After the men showered, Martinez-Martinez told the men to get in the car and began the drive to Albuquerque.
Once at the checkpoint, the Border Patrol agent questioned Martinez-Martinez about her citizenship.
She told the agent she was a U.S. citizen and handed her Texas ID card to the agent but didn't give the agent a valid driver's license, the document states.
Martinez-Martinez told the agent they were going to Albuquerque.
When the agent asked the men in the car about their citizenship, they did not reply, according to court documents.
According to the court documents, Martinez-Martinez appeared nervous.
The agent told her to drive to a secondary inspection area for further questioning.
Once there, the three men admitted to not having any immigration documents and said they entered the country illegally, court documents say.
A database showed that Martinez-Martinez was not a U.S. citizen but rather a DACA recipient.
Martinez-Martinez received her DACA status in April 2017, records showed.
She was charged for the smuggling attempt and her DACA status will be taken away.
