Immigration Sting: Resort City and Lake Erie

immigration sting: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE said it expected criminal charges including identity theft and tax evasion, according to Toronto Star. Steve Francis, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations special agent, speaks during a news conference discussing an early-morning immigration sting in Ohio on Tuesday. 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. John Minchillo / The Associated Press No criminal charges have been filed against Corso's, but the employer is under investigation, authorities said. The operation is part of the Trump administration's focus on employers, one that took hold about a year after the president took office, and came months after a surge in deportation arrests began. Two locations were searched, and Khaalid Walls, an agency spokesperson, said a large volume of business documents were seized. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
