() The owners of a bakery in southern Texas have been arrested and charged with harboring people illegally in the U.S. and aiding and abetting the harboring, according to a local news outlet.
Leonardo Baez and Nora Alicia Avila-Guel are the owners of Abby’s Bakery in McAllen, Texas, a town that shares a border with Mexico. Baez and Avila-Guel were charged after eight migrants were found at their business on Feb. 12, reports KRGV in Rio Grande Valley, Texas.
The owners admitted that they knew the people were in the country illegally and that they harbored them in their business.
The bakery owners’ arrests come as the Trump administration’s executive orders on border control take effect.
Baez and Avila-Guel had a court appearance Friday and are being held without bond on their charges.
