Four people were arrested and charged with immigrant smuggling Sunday at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, according to a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.
Customs agents also detained 42 illegal immigrants on two flights from Los Angeles, California, spokeswoman Janet Rapaport said.
It was the second time in four days that large numbers of illegal immigrants were discovered at the airport. In all, 130 people have been detained.
Those detained Sunday included 35 men, five women and a girl of toddler age, Rapaport said. One is from Chile and the rest are from Mexico.
They were being held in detention facilities in New Jersey and would be brought before an immigration judge.
