Federal agents chased dozens of people believed to be illegal immigrants on Dowlen Road, near the HEB Supermarket that is under construction.
The Department of Homeland Security conducted a raid at the construction site where the new HEB is going up at Delaware and Dowlen in Beaumont.
When federal immigration agents pulled up in vans, witnesses say about 30 to 50 people took off running down Delaware and Dowlen.
Witnesses say federal agents pursued them and several were taken into custody, but the majority of them got away.
