Three truck drivers were arrested while allegedly attempting to smuggle undocumented immigrants inside tractor-trailers in a series of busts over the weekend in El Paso, said a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Fifteen immigrants headed to cities such as Phoenix, Los Angeles and Chicago were found by agents with the Border Enforcement Security Task force. Agents had been doing surveillance at area truck stops. The task force includes ICE, the Border Patrol and the El Paso County Sheriff's Office. More information is expected to be released today.
