Illegal immigrants in US Marine uniforms arrested near San Diego
“There are several obvious questions that need to be answered.”
Border Patrol agents caught 13 illegal immigrants wearing U.S. Marine uniforms at a border patrol checkpoint east of San Diego, an agency spokesman said Tuesday.
The immigrants were in a white van that was stopped March 14 along Interstate 8, Border Patrol spokesman Michael Jimenez said. The van had a U.S. government license plate with an altered number, Jimenez said. He did not know where the group obtained the military uniforms.
The immigrants all had Marine-style haircuts and the name tag “Perez” on their camouflage uniforms, U.S. Marine Corps officials told the Los Angeles Times.
