Immigration officials raid Washington state roofing company and arrest over 3 dozen people

BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — Federal immigration agents arrested 37 people Wednesday during a raid at a roofing business in northern Washington.

“They (law enforcement) arrived wielding their guns like they were going to shoot us, like we were criminals,� Tomas Fuerte told Cascadia Daily News, speaking in Spanish. “They corralled us into a room in the back of the building. They had a list and pictures of everyone who was undocumented and took them away.�

The people detained were taken away in two buses, Fuerte said, adding that he has never seen such a raid in his 12 years at the company.

ICE spokesperson David Yost said in a statement that the officers executed a federal search warrant “based on an ongoing criminal investigation into the unlawful employment of aliens without legal work authorization in violation of federal law.�
