State Employee Under Governor Katie Hobbs Arrested and Charged for Allegedly Smuggling Illegal Immigrants

An Arizona state employee working for the Department of Agriculture (AZDA) was arrested earlier this month for alleged human smuggling, resulting in his termination. Joshua Castro, who worked as a food inspector, was charged with both a felony and misdemeanor after he was caught appearing to transport illegal immigrants in his state uniform after they crossed the border from Mexico into Arizona.  The Arizona Sun Times asked Border Czar Tom Homan for comment. White House Spokesman Kush Desai responded on his behalf, “The days of actively aiding and abetting illegal aliens invading our country are over. The Trump administration will never waver on putting Americans and America First with a no-nonsense approach to immigration enforcement. In this administration, anyone who commits crimes exposes themselves to criminal liability.”
