  Border Patrol Agent Arrested for Harboring an Illegal Immigrant
Posted By Admin
There is a on going investigation on the case of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who allegedly had a secret underground room in his home, which authorities believe was built to hide drugs and illegal immigrants. According to Assistant U.S. attorney Tara McGrath, the hidden room was found beneath a concrete slab in the backyard patio. Federal agents found an illegal immigrant hiding under a table, 61 grams of methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia and narcotics packaging materials in the home. The agent, Marcos Gerardo Manzano Jr., 26, was arrested for harboring illegal immigrants with a criminal record.
