Border Patrol agents arrested 20 Romanian nationals after they had entered the U.S. illegally from the Canadian border. Among the group were two individuals tied to organized crime.
Agents were alerted to the illegal crossing just after 6 a.m., and responded to the area on Lincoln Road in Hodgdon, a rural town in northeastern Maine, along the Canadian border. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Border Patrol agents stopped the vehicles using emergency equipment, CBP says. The subjects were transported to Fort Fairfield Station for processing.
The processing revealed that the subjects were from Romania. Most of them were family members, including 10 adults and 10 juveniles. Two of the subjects processed were revealed to have ties to transnational organized crime, CBP says.
