PA: ICE detains 18 suspected illegal immigrants on bus in Ch
ICE detains 18 suspected illegal immigrants on bus in Chambersburg
CHAMBERSBURG, Tuesday, March 29
Eighteen people were detained on suspicion of being in the country illegally after their charter bus was pulled over for speeding in Chambersburg.
Pennsylvania State Police troopers spotted the bus traveling 80 miles an hour in a 65-mile-per-hour zone on I-81 in Antrim Township Tuesday morning. Troopers directed the driver to stop the bus in the parking lot of the Chambersburg Denny's.
During the course of the investigation, police discovered that the vehicle's registration was suspended due to an apparent insurance cancellation and the driver did not have a commercial driver's license endorsement to operate the bus.
Further investigation revealed that some of the occupants were possibly illegal immigrants.
Police said about 57 passengers of apparent Asian descent were aboard the bus, few of which could provide identification or converse to the troopers in English.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was contacted and agents detained 18 people for having an apparent illegal status.
The agency issued a brief statement after the incident Tuesday:
"ICE assisted the Pennsylvania State Police this morning in Chambersburg and has detained 18 individuals, who will be processed for removal from the U.S. We have no further statistics to release at this time," said Harold Ort, a spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The bus was taken out of service for the alleged Motor Carrier Safety violations and siezed by ICE. The driver has also been charged, according to Pennsylvania State Police spokesman Trooper Tom Pinkerton.
Of the passengers not detained by ICE, Troopers ensured that arrangements were made to transport them to their destination. Another bus arrived and transported them from the Wayne Avenue Denny's parking lot. ICE brought their own bus and transported the 18 who were detained.
Pinkerton said state police troopers did not take anyone into custody at the scene.
The bus was headed north on I-81 when it was pulled over Tuesday morning just before 7 a.m. Pinkerton said the bus was from out-of-state, but he was not sure where it had originated or where it was heading.
State police said no other information was immediately available. The investigation has been turned over to the federal government and is ongoing. Chambersburg Borough Police Department assisted at the scene.

Antrim, Pa. - State police in Chambersburg stopped a bus speeding on Interstate 81 Monday and found 18 passengers inside with possible illegal immigration status.
Troopers stopped the bus for traveling at 80 mph in a 65 mph zone and found that its registration was suspended due to an insurance cancellation. Upon further examination, the troopers found that the bus had been taken out of service for safety violations and that its driver did not have proper endorsement to operate it, according to state police.
Police said the bus contained 57 passengers of Asian descent, most of whom could not provide identification or talk to the troopers in English. They then contacted Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents who arrived on the scene and took 18 passengers into custody on charges of illegal immigration.
Troopers helped all those not taken into custody secure alternate means of reaching their destination. Charges were also filed against the bus driver for state vehicle code and safety violations.
The 18 suspected illegal aliens were transported to an ICE holding facility at York County Prison.
ICE officials say it will likely be two weeks before they will be put in front of a judge.NO AMNESTY

The ACLU and SPLC will declare soon that the passengers of the bus had their civil rights violated because they weren't responsible for the driver or bus company. As mere passengers they shouldn't have been required to identify themselves for any reason.
