Immigrant smuggling rings in North Texas targeted

DALLAS -- Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have started an operation aimed at rounding up suspects in immigrant smuggling rings in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

ICE says its agents and officials from other federal, state and local agencies began making arrests and executing search warrants Wednesday morning. The agency says the operation is ongoing.

The U.S. Attorney's Office was expected to release more information later Wednesday.
