attempt at the U.S.-Mexico border when they discovered a
woman contorted and hidden inside a suitcase.
Officials released a photo this week showing the woman
tucked into a ball and laying inside the luggage in the back of
a vehicle.
The woman, a Thai national named Pornkamol Mongkolsermsak, was charged with re-entry after deportation,
CBP spokesman Victor Brabble said.
She was discovered on December 30, when inspectors at the
border referred the driver of a Honda SUV for a secondary
inspection, CBP said in a statement.
When officers inspected the vehicle, they opened up the
suitcase and found the 48-year-old woman hidden underneath
some clothing.
Authorities did not release the name of the 56-year-old
Phoenix man who was driving the SUV.
The case has been turned over to Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, CBP said.
