    Pfc. Jose Rodrigo Torres and Sgt. Julio Cesar Pacheco — both of
Laredo — and Sgt. Clarence Hodge Jr., of Fort Worth, Texas, were
arrested last week.

    Authorities found 24 illegal immigrants in a National Guard-rented
van Torres was driving — while in uniform. Prosecutors allege Hodge
helped Torres pass through a checkpoint.

    Pacheco is accused of recruiting soldiers to transport the
migrants for up to $3,500 per trip.
