Former Starr County DA employee indicted for using county van to smuggle immigrants
According to the criminal complaint filed by a Homeland Security Investigations special agent, the couple was traveling in a county vehicle, a 2015 Chevrolet van, with four other people a few miles outside of Victoria, Texas, when Victoria County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Andrew Carrizales stopped them for a tinted window violation.
After a quick Internet search, Carrizales learned that Garza was not the district attorney and confronted Rosa with the information. Rosa acknowledged that the information she gave was untruthful and told the deputy that Charles was her husband and was carrying a gun. The deputy suspected the passengers were undocumented immigrants and called in HSI agents. All passengers were taken into custody of the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office for questioning.
Rosa alleged Garza participated in every trip by driving the immigrants past the Hebbronville checkpoint “almost always in the marked DA vehicle.” Rosa and Charles would take the immigrants to Houston from that point, but on a few occasions Garza also drove them to their final destination, too, according to the complaint.
