UPDATE: One of several arrested by ICE in Fargo facing federal charges for previous illegal entry

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - One of the six men arrested in Fargo by ICE on May 6th is now facing federal charges.

Court documents show Ruben Rodriguez-Lopez faces a charge of being an illegal alien found in the United States after being previously removed.

They say the investigation started after a noise complaint on April 15 at an apartment complex in the 1100 block of 2nd St E in West Fargo. Police say three people there were in the subject illegally, so Border Patrol was contacted.

After conducting surveillance of the apartment multiple times, on May 6 at about 4 a.m., Border Patrol agents noticed a passenger van leaving the complex. An agent followed it and performed a traffic stop on 2nd St. E, near 4th Ave. E.

The agent says two people were sitting in front and five subjects were found laying on the floor in the back, which had no seats.

During questioning, authorities found four of the five people in the back, along with the driver and front seat passenger, were all Mexican citizens in the U.S. illegally.

After finger-printing, agents found one of the subjects had previously been arrested twice before for illegal entry into the country.

Court documents show Rodriguez-Lopez waived his right to a preliminary hearing. No future court dates are currently scheduled.
