| [Breitbart] Mexican immigration agents allowed a Hungarian woman who had previously been flagged by U.S. authorities to enter the country in exchange for a cash bribe. The incident comes when Mexican immigration officials have been unable to shake a long list of corruption allegations. The alleged bribe occurred in the Mexico City International Airport when a Hungarian woman approached an immigration booth for passengers arriving in Mexico. According to information exclusively leaked to Breitbart Texas by a director-level source within Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM), the woman presented her passport to the agent at the booth, and an initial scan showed a possible alert. The agents took the woman to an office where they photographed her and performed a biometric scan. The scan revealed that the woman was named in an immigration alert filed by the U.S. government out of New York. The nature of the immigration alert or which agency it was filed on behalf of was not provided to Mexican authorities, and the Mexican authorities made no inquiries during the encounter. The INM source revealed that as per the institute guidelines, they should have notified the U.S. government to gather more information and either detain the individual if they were wanted by a foreign agency or deny her entry and have her take the first flight out of Mexico. The INM agents took the woman to another office to question her further. However, during that interview, the woman disclosed that she had $2,000 USD in cash and another $2,500 USD in a cash card. The agents took the money and allowed the woman to go free, escorting her out of the facility. A search of the INM database revealed that the woman’s information was not put into the system as should have been done with any international traveler who enters the airport. |
