U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested two Mexican illegal aliens earlier this month when they were found working for a paving company in Calais after having previously been deported from the country.

According to court documents, Calais Border Patrol Agent Matthew Crews was patrolling on the afternoon of November 11 and spotted what appeared to him to be a work crew loading paving equipment.

He noticed that, as he was driving by in his marked vehicle, two of the workers appeared to be alarmed and were dressed in a manner typical of Central American immigrant workers.
