ICE Arrests Illegal Aliens In Baltimore Worksite Enforcement Operation
As part of an ongoing criminal investigation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents executed a criminal search warrant, civil warrants, and conducted consent searches at nine business locations in the Baltimore area. ICE also seized a bank account belonging to Jones Industrial Network (JIN) worth more than $600,000 and preliminarily arrested 69 employees and other immigration status violators working at JIN and at companies that contracted with JIN for workers.
The criminal search warrant was executed at JIN, a temporary employment agency that contracts with companies in the Baltimore area; civil warrants were executed at five businesses and consent searches were conducted at three businesses where JIN allegedly provided illegal alien workers.
“Today’s enforcement action is part of ICE’s aggressive pursuit of employers who violate the law," said Julie L. Myers, Assistant Secretary for Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Worksite enforcement actions target a key component of the illicit support structure that enables illegal immigration to flourish. No employer, regardless of industry or location is immune from complying with the nation’s laws. ICE and our law enforcement partners will continue to bring all of our authorities to bear in this fight using criminal charges, asset seizures, administrative arrests and deportations.” Read more at ice.gov.
