Police arrested 12 illegal immigrants after stopping a van for a traffic violation in Cloquet.

Deputy Police Chief Terry Hill says the van had Georgia license plates and that the men were under contract to do maintenance work at Sappi paper mill.

Detectives say the men worked for Southern Maintenance Contractors in Griffin, Ga. The Duluth News Tribune reports the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency took them into custody.
