A 17-year-old Texas man was arrested for smuggling two illegal immigrants, with the help of his mothers credit card and sisters Lyft app.
Jose Vigil was going to be paid $250 per person to smuggle two illegal migrants past Border Patrol and local law enforcement on April 5, according to local reports.

The driver said he did not know who they were, and that he was just a part-time Lyft driver when he wasnt working at Peter Piper Pizza.
