St. Louis — Eighteen illegal immigrants from the St. Louis County area are being held, after a federal search warrant was executed Tuesday related to fraudulent documents.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok says those being held are all from Mexico. He says they are under administrative arrest for being in the U.S. illegally.

He says the U.S. Attorney's office in St. Louis is expected to release additional details Wednesday.
