Ten Romanian citizens were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol near Pembina, North Dakota earlier this month after the agency says they crossed the Canada/U.S. border illegally.
    
Initially, on November 9th, agents interdicted a truck with 8 people inside after spotting it with imaging technology.
    
A second incident that same day, brought to their attention by a citizen report, saw agents apprehend two more people they say were hiding near the border. 
    
In both cases, U.S. Border Patrol says all individuals were processed and placed into removal proceedings.
