{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two Colorado prison escapees posing as undocumented immigrants were arrested by Border Patrol agents in Arizona on Wednesday.
Agents in Sells, Ariz., were on patrol when they stopped a vehicle around 5 p.m. with a 30-year-old driver and two men -- later identified as Jose Rodriguez and Raul Guzman.
Rodiguez, 35, and Guzman, 42, claimed to be in the country illegally and wished to be immediately returned to Mexico, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection news release said.
