ICE arrests more than 280 at Texas business, the biggest workplace immigration raid in a decade
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says federal agents arrested 280 workers Wednesday at CVE Technology Group in Allen, a city about 15 miles northeast of Dallas.
The federal agency says the technology repair company employees were working in the United States illegally, but did not release details of who was detained. ICE says it began auditing the employment document of workers at CVE Technology after receiving tips that the business was knowingly hiring people not authorized to work in the country.
CVE employee Yessenia Ponce described the raid as"crazy" to KERA News , and said people were screaming.
