A woman claiming to be a nature photographer has been charged with conspiracy to transport migrants into the United States after her SUV was stopped with four migrants wearing camouflage.
The incident unfolded in southern New Mexico when U.S. Border Patrol agents stopped a black GMC Terrain near the town of Animas along New Mexico State Highway 338, a route federal officials describe as a common corridor for smuggling activity.Border agents arrested the passengers, identified as migrants, along with two U.S. citizens, Chelsea Naida Ruiz and Jermiah Earl Goins, who were later charged.
