5 illegal immigrant arrests near Devils Lake

The Associated Press - Saturday, September 13, 2008

DEVILS LAKE, N.D.
The Ramsey County sheriff says Border Patrol agents have taken five illegal immigrants into custody after getting a call about a fight in a mobile home.

Sheriff Steve Nelson says the five men were found about 3 a.m., Thursday. Nelson says deputies went to a mobile home in Lawton and found the five did not have documents to prove they were legally in the country.

He says the five spoke Spanish at first but knew English well. They told authorities they were working at an area hog operation.

The sheriff says Border Patrol agents picked up the five men and told him they would be deported.
