A middle school in southern New Mexico was placed on lockdown after illegal migrants were apprehended just outside the school, a Border Patrol spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
On March 27, around 8:42 a.m., agents assigned to the Santa Teresa Station were notified by Sunland Park Police Department regarding a group of six individuals outside Santa Teresa Middle School.
Border Patrol officials said the agents responded and apprehended the individuals, who were determined to be undocumented migrants.
“The apprehended individuals were transported to Santa Teresa Station for processing under Title 8 authority,” Border Patrol officials said. “Neither Border Patrol agents nor the apprehended individuals entered school property.”

As a precautionary measure, the school sheltered in place temporarily when they observed Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement in close proximity to the school, officials said.
“Agents are always mindful of the safety and wellbeing of not only migrants, but the public at large, especially in and around schools near the border in this area,” the border patrol spokesperson said.
