Immigration agents raid Phoenix business that runs shuttles between northern Mexico, US cities

Immigration agents raid Ariz. van shuttle business

PHOENIX — Dozens of federal immigration agents are raiding a Phoenix business that advertises van shuttle services from northern Mexico to cities in Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.

The agents converged on Sergio’s Shuttle Thursday morning. Another shuttle service a block away was also apparently a target of the raid, with immigration agents and Phoenix police stationed outside.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told The Associated Press the raids were part of an “ongoing investigation into allegations of human smuggling,” but wouldn’t give other details.

A phone call to Sergio’s Shuttle was not answered Thursday morning.
