Lopez-Gomez, identified as an illegal immigrant, was traveling with four others, three of whom were named by the federal agency.

Andres Abel Garcia, a 49-year-old Mexican national, was arrested during the incident.

CBP said he was convicted of a DUI within 10 years of having a previous DUI.

Those in the group who were identified as illegal immigrants told immigration officials they were traveling to Los Angeles, California. Their goal was to live and work there.

A 24-year-old Mexican national and her 27-year-old boyfriend, a U.S. citizen from Phoenix, were also arrested by border agents “for harboring certain aliens.”
