INS Agents Arrest 38 Illegal Alien Suspects
U.S. immigration agents, making what they described as a routine sweep of Los Angeles International Airport, apprehended 38 suspected illegal aliens bound for cities in the Eastern United States, authorities said Saturday.
Thirty-four of those arrested Friday night at the airport were from Mexico, according to officials of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. The remaining four suspects were from El Salvador.
The arrests came after a two-day crackdown on alien smuggling that detained 153 suspected illegal immigrants and two alleged smugglers.
