The arrests are part of the Trump administration’s renewed focus on cracking down on businesses suspected of employing undocumented workers.
US immigration agents arrested more than 280 suspected unauthorized employees Wednesday in a raid on a phone equipment–repair business in Texas, the largest such sweep at a single worksite in more than a decade, officials said.
In the last fiscal year, ICE agents made nearly 10 times as many immigration arrests at workplaces than they did in the previous fiscal year. In August 2018, ICE agents in Texas arrested 160 undocumented workers at a trailer manufacturer. Such raids were once more common. ICE agents arrested nearly 400 workers at a meat processing plant in Postville, Iowa, in May 2008, the last operation that netted more arrests at a single worksite. The Obama administration, however, cut back on large sweeps.
