The haul included 16 adults and three unaccompanied children. Each one was a Mexican national caught inside drainage tunnels near the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>The Blaze first reported on the arrests Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Raudel Carrillo-Padilla, 35, and his 31-year-old brother Ivan Carrillo-Padilla were both flagged as repeat offenders, according to CBP. The pair had already been kicked out of the country once before, following 2017 convictions in Yreka, California, on charges of possessing, transporting, and intending to sell meth. Ivan was sent back to Mexico a second time after officers stopped him in a 2019 drug interdiction operation in Eugene, Oregon, the agency said. <strong>(RELATED: Four-Time Deported Illegal Alien Allegedly Shoves Elderly Vet Onto Subway Tracks)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The agents zeroed in on the group just before 11 p.m. using a Remote Video Surveillance System feed, then moved on the tunnel entrance.
