Some of them had been previously deported, although the authorities did not specify how many had criminal records or previous convictions.<\/p>\n

In addition to the arrests, ICE is investigating whether contractors operating in the area have illegally employed individuals without legal immigration status.<\/p>\n

This could constitute a violation of federal immigration laws.<\/p>\n
