Detention officials accused in immigrant smuggling scheme

The two arrested are employees of the Utah-based Management Training Corp., which has a contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to run the detention center in Raymondville, said Nina Pruneda, the agency’s spokeswoman in San Antonio.
