ICE raids Miss. plant seeking illegal workers
By HOLBROOK MOHR, Associated Press Writer Mon Aug 25, 6:00 PM ET
LAUREL, Miss. - Federal immigration agents said they uncovered 350 suspected undocumented workers in a raid on a Mississippi electrical equipment plant Monday, hours after sealing all entrances amid reports their sweep had idled normal operations.
Barbara Gonzalez, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman, confirmed the raid and said it targeted Howard Industries Inc. of Laurel.
The company produces dozens of products ranging from electrical transformers to medical supplies, according to the company's Web site.
"This is a targeted enforcement operation that is part of an ongoing ICE investigation that has revealed that illegal aliens are employed at Howard Industries," Gonzalez said, adding late Monday that agents were still interviewing plant workers.
She declined to say how many federal agents were involved, but said they acted on a tip provided by a union worker.
Note: ICE says people whose relatives were detained can call for information: 866-341-3858. |
