LAREDO, TX (WBTW) – Laredo Sector Border Patrol Agents worked with the Webb County Sheriff’s Office Monday in a raid that led to the arrests of 62 illegal aliens from a stash house in Laredo, Texas, according to a press release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The incident transpired after agents received information that a large number of illegal aliens were being held at a home waiting to be transported into the interior of the United States. The release says the illegal aliens were determined to be from the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
All subjects were processed accordingly.
“This enforcement action demonstrates the United States Border Patrol’s commitment to work with the Webb County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement partners to disrupt illicit activity, deny criminal organizations the ability to operate, and protect human life,” said Laredo Sector Assistant Chief Patrol Agent Jose Martinez.
