More than 40 illegal aliens were taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) during a multi-agency enforcement surge in western Montana this month, authorities say.
Between Dec. 7 and 11, USBP agents from stations in Washington, Idaho, and Montana worked alongside Montana Highway Patrol, Montana Army National Guard, and the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office to conduct 38 interdictions on the Interstate 90 corridor near St. Regis, which lies roughly halfway between Missoula and Coeur d’Alene.
In total, 51 arrests were made, including 41 individuals in violation of federal immigration law.
Among those apprehended were a convicted violent sex predator and several fugitives with felony warrants.
Additionally, two missing juveniles were located, stolen vehicles were recovered, and a substantial amount of narcotics were intercepted.
“This operation successfully disrupted transnational criminal organizations engaged in narcotics trafficking and alien smuggling along the I‑90 corridor,” Customs and Border Protection explained in a press release.
Officers seized 14 lbs. of methamphetamine, 14 lbs. of cocaine, 118 grams of marijuana, and 4 grams of fentanyl powder.
“This operation demonstrates the power of collaboration,” said Chief Patrol Agent Jason Liebe of USBP’s Spokane Sector.
“By combining intelligence, aerial surveillance, and coordinated enforcement, we were able to disrupt criminal activity, recover missing juveniles, and strengthen public safety across western Montana.”
