Two people facing deportation from the U.S. were taken into custody at the White House gate. They had arrived for a tour.

The pair were part of an adult education program, and a routine background check showed they had an outstanding immigration order against them. They were taken into custody yesterday before they entered the compound.

All White House visitors undergo a U.S. Secret Service background check.
