Illegal immigrants found working in Dunes "restricted area"

Federal authorities say they've arrested three illegal immigrants found working inside the "restricted area" of the Dakota Dunes.

We're talking about the "Country Club" area, between the two levees built to hold back the surging Missouri River. Homeowners haven't been allowed to stay there for more than a month. But, they can visit their homes-- from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm-- every day. So can workers and contractors.

The Union County sheriff found the illegals working for a basement restoration company in the "restricted area."

To date, a total of five illegals have been found in the "restricted area."

Deputies turned them all over to immigration officials for deportation.
