Federal law enforcement authorities in Portland arrested four illegal aliens at a house where officials say a laser strike on two U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helicopters emanated over the weekend. The search resulted in the arrest of four illegal aliens, including one believed to be responsible for the attacks and the seizure of the laser.
The investigation began after images captured by the CBP pilots of the helicopters under attack were used to identify the location where the laser strikes were conducted. Aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft is a federal crime and can result in a potential five-year imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000.

The Department of Homeland Security identified the four arrested illegal aliens in a Tuesday press release. They are:
- Diogenes Albores-Suchiapa, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, previously arrested for unlawful possession of methamphetamine and criminal trespass in the 2nd degree in Gresham, Oregon. He was also previously arrested by CBP three times for immigration violations.
- Andres Brian Lopez-Labra, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, previously arrested by CBP for unlawful entry and recently arrested by Oregon State Police for DUI.
- Benito Zamora-Alvarez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, who claims to have been in the United States illegally since October 1994.
- Hector Miranda Mendoza, a citizen of Mexico illegally present in the United States.
