Case 2

Forge On

You take a deep breath. Then you continue.

To come to the U.S., you decided to utilize the help a coyote - a human smuggler. The coyote told you that he could take care of you.

You didn't have any money to pay him, but he offered you a deal. You could help him with some work, and in exchange he would take you to the U.S. Without many other options, you agreed, and before you knew you were handed the keys to a truck. It was a shipment from the United States, all you had to do was drive it across the Guatemalan border to El Salvador.

At first you agreed, but when you learned that there were hundreds of arms in the truck, you objected. That's when they showed you a photo of the last person who refused the task -- dead, next to the dead bodies of his children, their faces so disfigured you couldn't even fathom their ages. This wasn't much of a choice at all. You had to do this, or your three daughters would die. You asked God for forgiveness and drove the truck.

When you get to this part of the story, though, a CBP officer interrupts you. Your have 2 minutes remaining before your phone call time runs out.

What do you do?
