"It was reported that federal agents held crews from private fire contractors for several hours on Wednesday as they were preparing to help tackle the 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) Bear Gulch Fire in Washington state.
The immigration raid was unusual in that such operations have customarily not been carried out around natural disasters or sites of emergency, according to reports.
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said its officers were requested by forestry rangers to verify the names provided on contractor firefighter rosters.
“Several discrepancies were identified, and two individuals were found to be present in the United States illegally, one with a previous order of removal,” CBP said in a statement.
Authorities also said the US Bureau of Land Management terminated contracts with two contractor firms at the site and escorted their 42 firefighter staff off federal land.
The two firefighters without proper documentation were arrested and taken into custody on charges of illegal entry and re-entry to the US."
We got'em!!!! We got 2 (not one, but 2!!!!) hardened criminals whose alter egos were firefighters risking their lives for americans. The US has been way safer since. All it took was keeping 42 firefighters from trying to contain a huge wildfire. For several hours. A small price to pay and all you saying otherwise better shut the fuk up or be snitched to your employers for anti-patriotic yapping
