Two South Texas teens have pleaded guilty after they were caught at a U.S. border checkpoint with two people concealed in the trunk of a vehicle carjacked earlier that day.
In May, 18-year-old Christian Hardy and Jesus Rodriguez, 19, were stranded at a gas station after Hardy's vehicle broke down. They were meant to travel from Houston to a stash house in Rio Grande Valley, where they planned to pick up two undocumented migrants, according to a news release from Alamdar S. Hamdani, U.S. Attorney for the South District of Texas.
