Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents from the Calais station apprehended a group of illegal immigrants after encountering a suspicious van on March 5 in Maine’s Houlton border sector.

Agents from the Calais station encountered a suspicious black passenger van with several people inside.

They discovered that five of the passengers were allegedly in the U.S. illegally and charged them with Alien Inadmissibility. The alleged illegal immigrants were transferred to the CBP’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), where they will be processed for removal.

The press release provided scant details on the operation and did not disclose the nationality of the alleged illegal immigrants or explain what raised the suspicion of the agents.

The Maine Wire reached out for additional details, but CBP did not immediately respond to an emailed request and was not able to answer questions over the phone.

Friends of Joe Biden, B Obama and Janet the Governor. Send them packing. They are as stupid as the Judge who told the Trump to turn the plans around and was appointed Bush, and up graded by Obama of the unipartite. Also they are supporters of King.

With the southern border under control now most likely there will be more illegals trying to come into Maine instead of the southern border.

If they claimed they were from China and here to see mills about buying a house maybe they would have been allowed into the state.
