26 illegals nabbed in Upper Peninsula

SAULT STE. MARIE, (AP) — Authorities say 26 illegal immigrants are being held in Chippewa County after a series of arrests over the weekend.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection office in Sault Ste. Marie said Monday it assisted the county sheriff's department after two vehicles were stopped near Trout Lake.

...... The remaining eight suspects were caught at a traffic stop near Munising. Agents say all 26 people were working for a local contractor.

I don't expect that up in "da UP, eh?"

Good work by the cops there, as that covered a very large area. Munising is almost two hours away from Trout Lake, which is one of the smallest towns I've ever been too.

The article doesn’t say, but I’d bet a box of Krispy Kremes they weren’t Canadian.

No, they were mexicans planting trees in the national forest for a sub contractor.
A trooper made a traffic stop —there was a chase and when he finally caught the vehicle and had the occupants on the ground waiting for backup- he noticed that a lot of other hispanic males were out in front of the cabins they were near- then they all took off into the woods. Border patrol chased them down with helicopters and atv’s

And here I thought movin’ to the UP would be far enough North.

Gotta be careful around Trout Lake. The local Sheriff likes to use that area as a revenue enhancement zone.

Are they claiming the Upper Peninsula was once part of Mexico and Aztlan? Or is that just their excuse for invading California Arizona Texas?
