Border agents arrested almost 250 illegal immigrants in New Mexico on Jan. 16.

The group of Central American migrants is believed to have been brought over the border by smugglers. The group consisted mostly of families and unaccompanied minors and were in need of medical attention. They turned themselves in to border agents after midnight.
