LIBERTY, Ind. -- Going fishing last week might not have been a good decision for two Richmond men who are alleged to be in the United States illegally.

U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from Chicago are expected to take the men into custody at the Union County Jail today, Matron Lynn Browning said.
"This is the first time we've ever had immigration come and pick up somebody," Browning said. "We didn't notify them. They found us."
Crispin Batista Hernandez, 31, 304 1/2 N. Fifth St., and Gregorio Batista Hernandez, 34, 1115 S. G St., were arrested Wednesday in Union County by Indiana Conservation Officer William Browne. The men were each charged in Union County with misdemeanor counts of criminal trespassing and failure to purchase a fishing license.
After information and fingerprints from the men's arrests were entered into the statewide law enforcement database, ICE notified Union County of its interest in the men, Browning said. A detainer order was sent by ICE authorizing the county to hold the men until ICE agents could take them into custody.
"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed detainers on these individuals for suspected immigration violations," ICE spokeswoman Gail Montenegro said. "The detainers ensure that they will be turned over to ICE once they are released from local custody."
The Wayne County Jail faxes paperwork to ICE if an inmate is suspected of being an illegal alien, Sheriff Jeff Cappa said. ICE has removed three or four prisoners alleged to be illegal aliens from the Wayne County Jail since he took office in January, Cappa said.
"We have a good working relationship with them," Cappa said of ICE. "They are usually here within 24 to 48 hours of when we notify them."
