SAN DIEGO, California -- Camp Pendleton will be the next military base checked in San Diego County to be sure employees are in the United States legally, federal authorities said Thursday.
Michael Unzueta, acting special agent in charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's office in San Diego, said it will take four to six months for the review once it starts.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau was created as a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in March 2003 to protect the nation's borders. It is a mixture of agencies, including the former Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service.
"I don't know that they (Camp Pendleton) know we're coming yet," but the immigration enforcement will include working with Camp Pendleton's command structure, Naval Criminal Investigative Service and contractors, Unzueta said.
