HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A total of 25 undocumented immigrants were arrested at two construction sites located in South Padre Island and Brownsville, Texas, according to ICE Homeland Security Investigations of San Antonio.
On June 4, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the U.S. Marshals Service assisted U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement in arresting construction workers who are citizens of Mexico and Honduras.
HSI released a video on June 5 on their X account.
HSI says the individuals are pending removal to their home country.
“Today’s arrests reflect ICE’s unwavering commitment to upholding the integrity of our immigration system and protecting our nation’s workforce. Individuals who violate federal immigration and employment laws not only undermine fair labor standards but also pose potential security and safety risks,” said Craig Larrabee, the special agent in charge for HSI-San Antonio.
“ICE will continue to work with our partners to identify and investigate those who disregard the law and exploit our country’s systems for personal or commercial gain.”
