Illegal immigrants arrested in Carlisle

A train carrying illegal immigrants stopped in the Wabash Valley on Friday.

Officials originally thought there were about 15 people on board a CSX train passing through Carlisle, Ind., When the train stopped, there were only four aboard and all of them were illegal immigrants.

"I am coming from the USA for work. I have no problem, nothing. I don't have any money, nothing. Where were you going? Michigan for blueberries," one immigrant said.

The man is from Mexico and sends money back to his family. He also said he has been here in the United States for about three years.

Officials with the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department said this is nothing new, especially this time of year.

"In the rural areas where you have the watermelon fields, we get a lot of this. Usually, this time of year they come up to support their families," Sgt. William Snead said.

The illegal immigrants are facing a misdemeanor charge for criminal trespassing. It is likely the four immigrants will be released from jail after 48 hours and given a court date.
