Agents arrest 6 illegal aliens in Glasgow
Agents with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested six illegal aliens from Mexico on Sunday in Glasgow after investigating a tip.
Border Patrol agents with the agency's Havre Sector determined that six men, all Mexican nationals from Mexico City, did not have the proper documents to work legally in the United States, said Alex Harrington, a public affairs specialist with the Havre Sector, on Monday.
The men admitted they had entered the country illegally and on their own through Arizona and had been in the United States from four months to one year, Harrington said.
When arrested, the six had been employed by Acosta Roofing, of Westminster, Colo., and were working to repair hail-damaged roofs in Glasgow, he said. Agents questioned seven individuals in the investigation and arrested six.
Agents confiscated the aliens' personal property and transported them for initial processing to
the Border Patrol's Scobey Station with help from the Valley County Sheriff's Department and the Glasgow Police Department.
During the processing, all six aliens agreed to be deported to Mexico under a removal program rather than to go before an immigration judge, Harrington said. None of the six had a criminal record.
"With the assistance from local law enforcement agencies like the Valley County Sheriff's Office and the Glasgow Police Department we continue to build partnerships that protect Americans' quality of life," said Brenna Neinast, chief patrol agent in the Havre Section.
