SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — More than
100 workers at an Ohio gardening and landscaping company were arrested
Tuesday when about 200 federal officers descended on the business and
carried out one of the largest workplace immigration raids in recent
years.
The operation was part of the White House's increasing focus on
businesses that hire people in the country illegally amid a broad range
of immigration crackdowns under President Donald Trump that include
stepped-up deportations, targeting of sanctuary cities and
zero-tolerance border policies.
The 114 arrests occurred at two
locations of Corso's Flower & Garden Center, one in Sandusky, a
resort city on Lake Erie, and another in nearby Castalia. U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it expected criminal charges
including identity theft and tax evasion.
