The agents held the truck driver because they believed — without any apparent evidence — that he was in the U.S. illegally. However, 3News has learned that they are actually members of task forces for the DEA and ATF, and not special agents. The driver added that he was just having a drink when the federal agents approached him and accused him of being in the country illegally. One of the police officers involved in the incident was an ATF Task Officer, but he is not currently serving in that capacity.
