8 Held Near U.S. Border on Document Charges

Times Wire Reports

Eight people from Armenia, Iran and Iraq were detained near the U.S.
border on charges that they might have entered Mexico with false
documents, authorities said.

Federal agents and officials staged a raid of the Hotel Continental
Mexicali, across the border from Calexico, Calif., forcing everyone
inside to prove they were in Mexico legally.

The six men and two women were carrying documents that may have been
false.
