U. S. Border Patrol agents busted an El Centro " Stash House " Monday.

A traffic stop on Interstate 8 near Ocotillo led to an immigration investigation of the driver and the vehicle occupants. It was determined that the driver was a U. S. citizen but all four other occupants were all in this country illegally. They were all arrested. As a result of the arrests , agents were able to obtain information that a group of illegal aliens were being held in a mobile home in El Centro. Agents checked the stash house and found 21 illegal aliens and a U. S. citizen caretaker. The driver and caretaker were processed administratively and released. The illegal aliens were all expelled back to their country of origin.
