SHINE — The U.S. Border Patrol conducted another random checkpoint Monday on state Highway 104 just west of the Hood Canal Bridge, according to a spokesman for the agency.
Agents stopped all vehicles at the roadblock from 11:25 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. to look for illegal immigrants, Border Patrol spokesman Michael Bermudez said.
Two illegal immigrants were apprehended, he said.
The patrol had conducted a checkpoint near the floating bridge on Aug. 22, when seven illegal immigrants were detained.
It also set up on U.S. Highway 101 north of Forks about a week later.
Under federal law, the Border Patrol can conduct the searches of vehicles for illegal immigrants up to 100 miles from any U.S. border, Bermudez said.
