Three illegal immigrants were taken into police custody after a traffic stop in the village of Homer. Rigoberto Hernandez was pulled over for using a cell phone while driving a vehicle on Southwest Street in the village. When asked for identification, Hernandez and two passengers, Rogelio Lucas and German Macario, said they had none. The three said they worked on farms in Locke, New York.

After being interviewed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, it was determined they were in the US illegally. They have been sent to the Cortland County Jail.
