One smuggling suspect identified as a “Cuban National who has a pending U.S. Court hearing for his citizenship”
Two Cuban nationals were caught smuggling illegal aliens in Texas this week, authorities say.
On Sunday, the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) busted a smuggling operation in-progress in Kinney County.
TxDPS troopers pulled over a suspicious Chevrolet sedan with four men inside on US-277.
“Troopers discovered that the driver, Diojany Carrillo Rodriguez from Florida, and the passenger, Dariel Ibanez Hernandez, a Cuban National who has a pending US Court hearing for his citizenship, were smuggling two illegal immigrants from Mexico,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a statement.

Rodriguez told troopers he had encountered the illegals in Eagle Pass and was driving them to a location in Houston.
“We picked them up on the way. They asked for help. They asked for a ride,” Rodriguez claimed in Spanish.
A TxDPS trooper can be heard on camera saying the tags on the sedan were registered to a pickup truck, but no further explanation was made clear.
Rodriguez and Hernandez were both arrested and charged with smuggling of persons.
The illegals, who both said they were from the Mexican state of Guanajuato, were turned over to U.S. Border Patrol.
