CAMPO: U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a woman and man near Tierra Del Sol Road and State Route 94 yesterday morning who had one illegal alien passenger in their back seat and two illegal aliens locked inside their car trunk.

The 22-year-old U.S. citizen driver and her 22-year-old U.S. citizen passenger face Federal charges for human smuggling.
