Four men held in the Flathead County Detention Center last week on immigration detainers were put there by the U.S. Border Patrol, officials say.

Flathead County Sheriff Brian Heino said the men, who were booked into the facility on Jan. 30, were detained by Border Patrol agents. They were transferred out of the jail on Jan. 31, he said.  

The four men were identified in jail records as Carlos Daniel Acvedo-Cisneros, 26; Eduardo Hernandez-Olivares, 42; Angel Barrios-Munoz, 45; and David Neri Sandoval-De La Cruz, 34. 

Heino directed questions regarding the men, their arrest, and citizenship and immigration status to the federal agency. A spokesperson for the Border Patrol did not answer questions submitted by the Daily Inter Lake by its press deadline.  

A search of various courts in Flathead County turned up only one case linked to the quartet. Sandoval-De La Cruz was cited in Flathead County Justice Court for a seatbelt violation, speeding, operating without limited liability insurance, first offense, and resident operating with foreign license and registration in February 2024.  

He paid the associated fines later that month, according to court records.
