DEER PARK -- Immigration officials, supported by Spokane County Sheriff's deputies, have executed a search warrant on the Spring Creek Tree Nursery north of Deer Park in search of illegal immigrants and arrested six Mexican nationals for being in the country illegally.


Agents with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency served a search warrant on the Spring Creek Nursery north of Deer Park Friday morning. Agents on the scene would only say the investigation surrounded the alleged harboring of illegal immigrants.


The men were reportedly working at the nursery trimming trees.


Prosecutors at the US Attorney’s office said they did not expect to file any criminal charges against the nursery owners Friday. The men were transported to the Adams County Jail and they will eventually be deported back to Mexico.
