Over 60 undocumented immigrants are in federal custody after being caught this afternoon by Border Patrol agents

The 63 immigrants were detained just north of Mission.

The stash house was found by local and federal authorities working together on Taylor and 6 Mile Line.

Border Patrol said an investigation from a previous smuggling case lead them to this bust.

San Juan police assisted the agents around noon when they found the immigrants packed inside a house.

Two of the people detained are persons of interest, meaning they could be smugglers themselves.

Authorities the condition of the stash house was better than most stash houses, which could be an indicator that the group had not been in hiding for long.

One person showed signs of dehydration and was taken to a local hospital.

Yesterday...Neighbors worried about illegal immigrant camp in Edinburg ...Residents of a rural Edinburg neighborhood turned to Action 4 News after illegal immigrants set up an makeshift camp in a wooded area.

The camp was located near Hoehn and Russell Roads on city’s northwest side.

Neighbors told Action 4 News that some 30 or more illegal immigrants stay at the camp before heading north.

The campsite is reportedly used as a staging ground before immigrants hike through the South Texas brush country to bypass the Border Patrol’s Falfurrias checkpoint.

Border Patrol agents raided the camp where they reportedly caught between 50 to 60 immigrants.

Sources told Action 4 News that the camp may have been used by as many 120 immigrants may have been staying at the camp.

We need more Americans to call a news station/ICE or the police when they see a group of illegals. Putting these raids all over the news just MIGHT wake up the brain dead among us.

Just wait a few months, then we can call it “Amnesty Camp.” Or perhaps a “Pathway To Citizenship Camp.”

You see that all the time in my town, in the ugly neighborhoods. They’ll rent a three-bedroom house and cram 30 people into it, day laborers with fake green cards that they buy in bulk at the local bodega. After a while the house deteriorates to the point where the city has to condemn it, and the slumlord just rents them another one.
