On March 31, 2026, a traffic stop on Interstate 20 near Leeds, Alabama resulted in the arrest of four individuals. The driver presented a Mexican identification card instead of an Alabama driver license, prompting an Alabama State Police trooper to contact U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. When the driver and two passengers fled on foot into nearby woods, law enforcement apprehended all three near a Bass Pro Shops location without incident. All four individuals were arrested by the Leeds Police Department, which also thanked surrounding agencies for assisting in the search. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and ICE are investigating the incident.
