Border Patrol agents of the Laredo Sector rescued nearly a dozen undocumented immigrants from an alleged stash house in central Laredo.

According to Border Patrol the incident happened on June 18th when agents received a tip from local law enforcement about suspicious activity going on near East Montgomery Street.

Authorities say the house was allegedly being used in an illegal alien smuggling operation.

Laredo Sector Acting Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Anthony S. Good says, “This rescue illustrates how well the Border Patrol works with our local law enforcement partners as well as our ability to disrupt and degrade criminal organizations that constantly put people’s lives in danger. We will continue to work diligently to protect America and prevent people from being subjected to dangerous, deplorable situations.”

The men and women were determined to be from Mexico.

All of the individuals were processed accordingly.
