SOUTH CAROLINA -- Interstate roundup. More than a dozen people were put in handcuffs after immigration agents say a group, suspected of being illegal immigrants, passed through the upstate Monday.
The scene unfolded on I-85 near Highway 9 in Spartanburg County, where 16 people were taken into federal custody.
But this is part of a larger immigration debate in South Carolina; one that is going to come to a head tomorrow in Columbia.
Agents said those arrested were headed from Phoenix to Charlotte. A county deputy stopped their van and called federal agents.
