Four illegal immigrant arrests

This past Tuesday at 5:40 a.m. the Thermopolis Police Department initiated action to arrest four illegal immigrants who were working in Hot Springs County.

Police Chief Julie Mathews said this incident had been “days in the making,” and by 7:20 a.m. on Tuesday the four subjects were in custody. Wyoming Highway Patrol also assisted with the incident, and the four will be turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Mathews noted they will not face any local charges.

“They’re all ICEs,” she said. “We just helped get ‘em.”
