A driver going through the U.S.-Mexican border on the Gateway International Bridge in Brownsville, Texas, has been accused of unlawfully bringing a spider monkey along for the ride.
On Wednesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents referred a passenger car for a secondary inspection because driver Ilse Georgina Herrera had an expired permanent residency card.
When CBP officers began taking the car for secondary inspection, an unidentified human passenger wearing a blanket got out, refusing to follow CBP instructions. Upon removing the blanket, CBP officers found a bag containing the monkey. Ms. Herrera had a different story for Homeland Security Investigations officers. She claimed that she had taken the monkey to Mexico because it, rather than her child, was sick and in need of medication.
