Resort City: Identity Theft and Lake Erie

resort city: 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, according to The Chronicle Herald. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it expected criminal charges including identity theft and tax evasion. 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. No criminal charges were filed against the company, but the employer is under investigation, authorities said. The operation drew criticism over its heavy show of force that involved aircraft surveillance and a large contingent of federal agents to round up workers at a family business. Two locations were searched, and Khaalid Walls, an agency spokesman, said a large volume of business documents were seized. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
