As they attempted to perform a license plate registration check, the van’s driver applied the brakes and turned off the interstate and drove through an ADOT fence.

After a short distance, the van stopped and all occupants fled. Agents arrested seven illegal immigrants. An extensive search of the area for the driver was unsuccessful.

All individuals arrested were transported to the Wilcox station and removal proceedings were initiated. The van is being seized by Border Patrol.
