LAREDO, Tx.- Border Patrol agents arrested 3 men as they were loading six Mexican immigrants. All 3 men received federal charges.

According to reports, Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) received information about human smuggling activity that occurred in a parking lot of a business in north Laredo.

Authorities set up a surveillance operation in Lowe´s parking lot where they witnessed several men arrive in a vehicle, some of them in a Ford Explorer and others in a Ford Expedition.

Six men got off the Ford Explorer and got in the cabin of a tractor where they hid. At that moment agents decided to intervene and arrested two Laredo residents and one from Nuevo Laredo, as well as the half dozen illegal immigrants.
