Two face immigration charges (Casper Start-Tribune)

Two face immigration charges (2nd item)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Wednesday in Casper two Nicaraguan citizens suspected of administrative immigration violations, an agency spokesman said.

The agents executed search warrants at two homes in Casper as part of an investigation into fraudulent documents, said ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok. They arrested two women, who will remain in U.S. custody until they go through immigration proceedings.

The women, who were not identified, will have an opportunity to go before a federal immigration judge. The judge will determine whether they will be deported, Rusnok said.

Casper police assisted the agents, which enforce immigration and customs law, during Wednesday's operation. The investigation into the women was about a month old, Rusnok said.
