A pair of babyfaced teenagers were caught allegedly smuggling immigrants over the US-Mexico border into into Arizona this weekend — as authorities warn Cartels are recruiting US citizens to do their human trafficking with promises of easy cash.

Eli LaClaire, 19, and Landon Vert, 18, were arrested Friday evening after police pulled them over and discovered five undocumented migrants stowed in their car, the Cochise County Sheriff’s office announced.

Authorities think the pair could be the latest in the startling trend of violent cartels using social media to recruit young Americans, which they say has attracted people from all over the country.
Both teens were booked on human trafficking charges — a felony offense that could land them up to five years in prison.

“[LaClaire] obviously had people in his vehicle, and he had all the camouflage clothing and he had all the indicators and the evidence … not to prove, but to indicate he was in the smuggling business,” Cochise Country Sheriff’s office representative Carol Kapas told The Post, adding there was also evidence he’d been involved in previous smuggling operations before being caught.
