A third U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer has been indicted in connection with a scheme to allow vehicles carrying undocumented migrants to cross into the United States through the San Ysidro Port of Entry located between San Diego and Tijuana.
The latest charges follow the indictment of two other CBP officers who stand accused of accepting bribes in exchange for facilitating illegal entries. The most recent defendant, Kairy Stephania Quinonez, 31, of Imperial Beach, is not facing bribery charges but is alleged to have participated in the scheme by enabling unauthorized crossings and falsifying records, as NBC 7 in San Diego reported.
