Plattsburgh( N.Y) A tip from a concerned citizen on July 31 led to the arrest of six citizens of India at the Plattsburgh bus station who had illegally entered the United States from Canada. During the investigation by Champlain Border Patrol Agents, it was determined that they had illegally entered the U.S. through the woods in the middle of the night and were waiting in Plattsburgh to catch a bus to New York City. U.S. Border Patrol Swanton Sector officials said thanks to the public’s watchful eyes, the six boarded transportation, but it wasn’t to NYC; it was to an immigration detention facility to await deportation proceedings. “We thank our vigilant community members for their dedication to securing our borders. Please continue to report suspicious border activity in Swanton Sector by calling 1-800-689-3362. Your call matters,” officials said in an Aug. 13 announcement.
