Parker Still, Supervisory Special Agent over the Gulf of America Homeland Securtiy Task Force, told 1819 News all of the arrests were immigration-related.
“One of the individuals that was arrested this morning, we’ve noticed they’ve previously entered the country eleven times. Between that and the individual who had the extensive criminal history, and that was just one individual, another one had multiple DUIs. Again, dangerous individuals that we needed to take action on as we did this morning,” Still said.
