Border Patrol agents were miffed when they saw an ambulance roll up to a Texas highway checkpoint in August 2022 and discovered an illegal immigrant being smuggled inside.
Now, nearly two years later, authorities say that ambulance was part of a broader smuggling operation that involved a fake assisted living facility that was supposedly moving patients from one location to another. In reality, the patients on the gurneys were illegal immigrants, according to investigators.
Jesus Cantu-Trevino was arrested by the Texas Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and U.S. Homeland Security and charged with conspiracy to commit alien smuggling.
