VEBLEN - A joint law enforcement effort resulted in the arrests of 27 people at a dairy operation near Veblen in northeastern South Dakota, authorities said.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol arrested 13 people for identity theft and false identification while the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 14 people on federal immigration violations. Officials say they will face deportation proceedings.

The investigation began in August after an officer stopped a man who used suspicious identification, said Tim Counts, spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
