Immigration officials raid Washington state roofing company and arrest over 3 dozen people
BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — Federal immigration agents arrested 37 people Wednesday during a raid at a roofing business in northern Washington.
“They (law enforcement) arrived wielding their guns like they were going to shoot us, like we were criminals,” Tomas Fuerte told Cascadia Daily News, speaking in Spanish. “They corralled us into a room in the back of the building. They had a list and pictures of everyone who was undocumented and took them away.”
The people detained were taken away in two buses, Fuerte said, adding that he has never seen such a raid in his 12 years at the company.
ICE spokesperson David Yost said in a statement that the officers executed a federal search warrant “based on an ongoing criminal investigation into the unlawful employment of aliens without legal work authorization in violation of federal law.”
