SWEETGRASS, Montana – On September 29th at approximately 10:52 P.M., U.S. Border Patrol Agents from the Sweetgrass Station were notified that a vehicle had crossed into the United States without presenting themselves at a port of entry. An agent responded and performed a vehicle stop. The vehicle was occupied by two subjects, one United States citizen and one Canadian citizen. Both subjects were taken to the Sweetgrass station for further processing.
“I am proud of the quick action taken by our agents to ensure we are aware of what is entering the country and to ensure the safety of our community. The work the agents do every day to keep us safe was demonstrated that evening,” said Acting Chief Patrol Agent Richard Fortunato. “Their actions are a testimony to the commitment our agency has to keep this nation safe.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection welcomes assistance from the community. Individuals can report suspicious activity to Border Patrol by calling 800 BE ALERT or (800) 232-5378. All calls will be answered and remain anonymous.
