HuffPost
Border Patrol "unapologetically addresses violations of immigration law wherever they are encountered," a spokesperson said.
Immigration officials have arrested two firefighters as a large fire in Washington state rages on.
A spokesperson with the Forest Service, an agency of the Department of Agriculture, told HuffPost that it is “aware of a Border Patrol operation” at the Bear Gulch Fire in the Olympic National Forest, located on the state’s Olympic Peninsula, west of Seattle.
Customs and Border Protection claimed in a statement Thursday that the two firefighters are being held at the Bellingham Border Patrol Station near the Canadian border and face charges of illegal entry and reentry of removed aliens. The agency did not identify the firefighters by name.
“There have been no impacts to firefighting efforts and progress continues to be made on containment,” the CBP statement continued.
The Bear Gulch Fire has been burning since early July. Forest Service Law Enforcement and Investigations is currently investigating the cause of the fire, which is believed to be human-caused. As of Thursday morning, the fire was 8,960 acres large and 13% contained, according to an incident information management system known as InciWeb.
