ICE officials said 30 men and four women were taken into custody at a gas station in Murphy Canyon.
According to officials, ICE agents received a tip from a resident in Alpine that two vehicles may be transporting illegal immigrants.
Agents found the cars in question, an SUV and a pickup truck, and followed them to their exit near Aero Road and Interstate 15. Officials said the two vehicles met up with a third car at a gas station. That's when ICE agents moved in and made their arrests.
Officials said the people were hiding in both cars, including under a tarp in the bed of the pickup truck.
Six of those arrested will be prosecuted for illegal human smuggling, officials said.
ICE agents told NBC 7/39 they found some of the people under a tarp in the back of the pickup truck. Officials believe the group was headed to Los Angeles.
