Federal agents and San Juan police busted a suspected illegal immigrant stash house on Thursday morning.
Authorities said a tip led U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement, Border Patrol and San Juan police to a home on the 300 block of West Sioux Road.
Investigators took 32 people into custody, including a man who might have been in charge of an alleged human trafficking operation operation there.
Neighbors told Action 4 News that they were surprised to see police activity there. They said that the home was once owned by a Christian couple.
Authorities said the Thursday incident is the second bust in two days.
Border Patrol officials told Action 4 News that they arrested two suspected smugglers and 16 illegal immigrants yesterday.
