The Border Patrol Department, with the help of the Department of Public Safety and the La Villa Police Department, detained more than forty illegal immigrants that were found in a stash house.


The group of illegal immigrants were made up of men, women and two children who were staying in the home for the last four days.

The Department of Public Safety came upon two illegal immigrants walking down the road in the morning hours and the two immigrants led DPS officers to the stash house.

As law enforcement agencies arrived to the house several of the illegal immigrants managed to escape into the nearby brush, but the majority of the illegal immigrants were detained.
