Four immigrants from Brazil charged with breaking into Sunland Park business

Four undocumented immigrants from Brazil were arrested and charged with breaking into a business in Sunland Park, N.M.

One of the immigrants was also charged with assault, according to a release from the U.S. Border Patrol.

Border Patrol agents were called to a Sunland Park business on Tuesday after a distress call was received from the business owner.

The business owner had been assaulted after a group of undocumented immigrants had broken into his property, according the Border Patrol.

Border Patrol agents apprehended the four suspects and immediately requested assistance from Sunland Park police.

After a preliminary investigation, Sunland Park police took custody of the four suspects and charged all four with breaking into the business owner’s property. One was also charged with a count of assault.

The four suspects were identified as: Leandro Goncalves Ferreria, 25; Ueslei Da Silva Novaes, 24; Wdison De Lima Oliveira, 25; and Elson De Souza Antonio, 43. All are from Brazil and allegedly entered the country illegally, according to the release.

The U.S. Border Patrol has placed immigration detainers on all four and will regain custody after the state of New Mexico completes its judicial proceedings.
