RICHMOND, Virginia -- Federal immigration officials yesterday raided the construction site for the new federal courthouse in downtown Richmond and arrested 33 immigrant workers from six Central and South American countries.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, assisted by Virginia State Police, rounded up 29 men and four women working at the site who allegedly were living here illegally.
They each were charged with administrative immigration violations and are being detained for further processing, said Ernestine Fobbs, a spokeswoman for ICE in Washington.
The workers' native countries included Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Peru, Fobbs said.
Fobbs said the investigation is ongoing.
State police did not participate directly in the raid. Four state troopers were on site to assist traffic flow, spokesman Sgt. Tom Cunningham said.
