Скачать или смотреть Immigration agents detain firefighters during investigation at scene of Bear Gulch Fire

Two members of a firefighting crew at the Bear Gulch Fire in Mason County were detained by immigration agents on Wednesday as part of an ongoing investigation into two government contractors working at the fire, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed.

According to CBP, the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service requested the agency's help to terminate the firms working at the fire.

Federal agents were verifying the identities of the members of the wildland firefighter crew when it was discovered that two individuals were illegally present in the U.S., and one had a prior order of removal, according to CBP officials.

The two wildland firefighters were taken into custody and transported to Bellingham on charges of illegal entry, according to CBP.
