Federal agents held crews from private fire contractors for several hours on Wednesday as they readied to help tackle the 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) Bear Gulch Fire in Washington state, reports said.
“You risked your life out here to save the community,“ one firefighter, who was not named, told the paper. “This is how they treat us.”
“Several discrepancies were identified, and two individuals were found to be present in the United States illegally, one with a previous order of removal,“ a CBP statement said Thursday.
The operation “did not interfere with firefighting operations or the response to any active fires in the area, nor did it pose any danger to the surrounding community.”
But under an election campaign pledge to undertake the largest deportation in US history, Trump's administration has continually pushed the envelope, carrying out widespread arrests -- often in Democratic areas -- that have provoked anger.
“Deeply concerned about this situation with two individuals helping to fight fires in Washington state,“ he wrote on social media.
