Hector Hernandez, 55, of Chula Vista, admitted in a plea agreement to showing smugglers the locations of monitoring devices and cameras along the U.S.-Mexico border so they could be able to avoid detection during smuggling operations. Prosecutors say Hernandez also opened restricted border fences at least five separate times to allow migrants through; he was paid $5,000 per incident. Hernandez was arrested last May after agreeing to pick up a bag full of drugs hidden near the border.
