EL PASO, Texas -- Five undocumented immigrants on Thursday were found hiding in a Lower Valley house that neighbors suspect might have been used for illegal activity for a while.
The immigrants were four men and a woman, all in their 20s, from the Mexican states of Zacatecas and Michoacan, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
ICE officials would not confirm that the house was part of a larger immigrant smuggling ring and would not say how long the house might have been used to hide undocumented immigrants.
But residents of the neighborhood, in the 200 block of Ben Swain, said the house was known for suspicious activity.
Neighbors also said activity at the home was "unusual" because cars and people would "come and go" throughout the night.
