FARGO (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol said it detained 32 male farm laborers in Oakes after the workers acknowledged they were in the country illegally.
The men were detained on Wednesday, after Oakes police made a traffic stop on May 14 and asked the Border Patrol for help with Spanish translation.
Border Patrol agent Brent Everson said some of the men were Mexican nationals.
He says the men will remain in detention and will be placed in removal proceedings.
