Presidio teacher faces probe over alleged alien harboring
Presidio educator Sonia Armendariz and her husband Jose face federal charges for allegedly recruiting and housing a Mexican national using fake documents to care for her husband at home in Presidio. The case cites a detainee who entered via the Port of Entry with a tourist visa and says she also knew of others recruited. Armendariz, a Franco Middle School veteran, is suspended without pay as prosecutors pursue the immigration and harboring allegations.
