Posted January 26 2007

Federal, state and local authorities have arrested 13 people at the Key West naval air station and escorted 120 employees off the base after an investigation into improper personnel.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez said the operation, conducted Wednesday, netted two Mexican immigrants with fraudulent green cards. Officials matched two other workers to state arrest warrants and police are holding nine others, here legally, on charges of using fraudulent identification.
