A Border Patrol agent, a member of Tucson Sector's Mobile Response Team, displays a pair of carpet booties used by two Guatemalan nationals attempting to evade apprehension.
The two men, ages 19 and 23, were also dressed in camouflage, in an attempt to avoid detection. Both men had been apprehended in the past and now face criminal prosecution for illegal re-entry.
