U.S. Customs arrests 330 at N.M. border

ANTELOPE WELLS — Another large group of migrants are in custody after showing up at a remote border crossing in southwestern New Mexico.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the 330 Central Americans were apprehended early Monday at the Antelope Wells port of entry, 122 mileswest of El Paso.

This marks the second large group to be arrested near the port in less than a week. On Friday, agents arrested 290 Central Americans who entered the country illegally.

In all, CBP said 28 groups of more than 100 people have been apprehended in the area since Oct. 1. The groups have included families and unaccompanied juveniles.
