Feds bust 61 undocumented immigrants in L.A.

More than 60 illegal immigrants, including three toddlers, were discovered at a house in South Los Angeles early this morning by federal immigration agents serving a search warrant as part of an investigation into a human smuggling ring, authorities said.

According to our story, by Anna Gorman, immigrants were from El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Ecuador. There were six minors -- three teenagers and three toddlers -- among the group. Immigration and Customs were working with the consulates of those countries in an attempt to keep the young children with their mothers, according to agency spokewoman Virginia Kice.
