14 people believed to be involved in illegal alien smuggling were arrested Thursday. At about 1:00 PM Thursday afternoon El Centro Sector Border Patrol Agents raided a house near the city of Imperial. The Border Patrol had been tipped-off that the house was being used as a load house to hold smuggled illegal aliens until they were transported further north. Along with ICE agents and Imperial County Sheriffs deputies Border Patrol agents arrested two people for being alleged principle smugglers and 12 others for being in this country illegally. The investigation into the house and smugglers is continuing.
