Two arrested in Florida for transporting illegals.
Ahh, what about the owners of the company?
FORT PIERCE — Two people who work for a van service that transports illegal immigrants across the country are facing federal charges after being arrested early Wednesday, according to court records released Thursday.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent received a tip around 12:40 a.m. Wednesday that a van was traveling south on Interstate 95 that might be carrying about 15 illegal immigrants. The agent stopped near the Okeechobee Road exit on I-95 and saw the van pass by around 1:30 a.m., according to a complaint affidavit filed in the case.
After stopping the van on Okeechobee Road, the agent saw what looked to be an “excessive amount” of people sitting on the van seats and in-between seats. There were 19 people total in the van, all in the country illegally, coming from Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala, the affidavit states.
