SAN ANTONIO — A multi-agency law enforcement operation in San Antonio over the weekend concluded with the arrests of 140 people suspected of being undocumented, according to federal officials with a new, regional Homeland Security Task Force.

The hours-long operation involving local, state and federal law enforcement unfolded early Sunday near San Pedro Avenue and Basse Road, where authorities claim they disrupted activity suspected of being linked to a Venezuelan gang.

By Monday afternoon, the small lot where the operation unfolded had been largely cleared with food trucks and abandoned cars removed, and no one on-site willing to speak about what happened.

Federal officials confirmed that the individuals detained were from Honduras, Mexico, Venezuela and other South American countries.
