On Nov 11, a K-9 of Texas Department of Public Safety named Zita successfully led troopers and agents to four female illegal immigrants, including one special interest alien from China — Zhao Xin, who entered the US after rafting across the Rio Grande. All four were taken into custody and turned over to Border Patrol.
Border Patrol charged Zhao with illegal entry, a federal misdemeanor. She appeared before US Magistrate Judge Juan F. Alanis in the morning of Nov 13.
Zhao claimed that she couldn’t make a living in China and that she had traveled to the US to search for a way to support her son and her sick mother in China.
Zhao was sentenced to time served — the two days she’d already spent in jail.
Zhao then headed to a detention center for people without legal status in the US. Whether she’ll be sent back to China remains unclear.
