More than fifty immigrants were taken into custody Wednesday after a raid at a west side home. Police were called to the home on Senisa Street after they received a tip about stolen cars. When they arrived, they saw four people running from the house. They looked inside the "stash house" and found 51 illegal immigrants - 38 men, 12 women and a teenage girl – all crammed into three bedrooms.
“This is a case where we obviously just can't walk away,” Sgt. Gabe Trevino with San Antonio Police said. “We called the federal government to come out here and do their job.”
Trevino said two men escaped while police confirmed that two cars in the back of the house were stolen. All of the illegal immigrants were taken in for questioning by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
“We have a diverse group,” Fred Hollenbeck with ICE said. “Some from other than Mexico, but the majority are from Mexico.”
