Police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are on the scene of a possible immigrant smuggling operation.

At this point, police are looking for four suspects.

Austin police chased a truck across Interstate 35 to Oltorf Street at speeds of up to 95 miles per hour.

Officials said seven undocumented immigrants were lying down in the bed of a red Dodge pickup truck, apparently riding from Austin to Laredo. They paid $1,500 apiece to get to this point.

News 8 Austin will have more as this story develops.
