Hugo Rueda, 50, was taken into custody after the drug raid on Monday, according to the U.S. Border Patrol. “It is possible that the Border Patrol may actively seek to initiate removal proceedings for these individuals after their criminal cases are adjudicated and they are eligible for release,” he said. Rueda’s wife, Teresa Vidal-Jaime, 54, also was taken into custody at the scene and arrested by Border Patrol agents for an immigration violation, Endicott said. Darren Harris said Border Patrol agents and undercover sheriff’s detectives who are part of a multijurisdictional methamphetamine task force began tracking the vehicle. Border Patrol agents and sheriff’s investigators moved in and arrested four men.
