MIAMI - Miscommunication led to the detainment of three men at the Port of Miami on Sunday after authorities became suspicious of their documentation and the contents of their cargo truck, officials said.
Authorities initially said the men — two Iraqis and one Lebanese national who are legal permanent U.S. residents — had been caught trying to slip past a checkpoint at the port's entrance.
A port security officer became suspicious when the truck driver could not produce proper paperwork in a routine inspection to enter the port about 8 a.m., Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Nancy Goldberg said.
The driver also indicated he was alone in the truck, though security officers found two other men in the cab, she said.
"Due to a miscommunication between the gate security personnel and the truck driver, we believe there was a discrepancy in the number of people in the vehicle attempting to enter the Port of Miami," Goldberg said. "This, and the fact that one of the individuals did not have any form of ID raised our level of concern."

So, was it ever determined that the men were from Dearborn? I took a nap rather than waiting for the press conference.
The ports cargo area was shut down all day Sunday.

I wonder how it long it will take for ACLU and CAIR lawyers to file discrimination lawsuits?
Sure, we buy that/s

Illegals, huh? Probably just got lost looking for the Social Security office.
How do you "sneak" in an 18-wheeler? Enter under false pretenses? Sure. Sneak? Not so much.
