ICE nabs 7 illegal immigrants during Philadelphia car wash raid

ICE agents conducted a worksite raid at a car wash in Philadelphia, leading to the arrest of seven illegal immigrants, as announced by the agency.

The operation, which took place on Jan. 28 at Complete Autowash in Philadelphia, was carried out by ICE based on complaints of labor exploitation against the employees.

ICE reported that during the enforcement operation, its agents came into contact with the workers, conducted interviews, and subsequently apprehended seven individuals for immigration violations. These individuals were later placed in detention pending their removal.

When asked about the worksite raid, one senior ICE official’s reaction to the operation was “Wowsers,” according to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin.

ICE has arrested more than 7,400 people in nine days across several states amid its aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration since the new Trump administration came into office. 

ICE officers have been seen carrying out raids of homes, work sites, and other establishments, while deportations have also ramped up, with the Trump administration vowing to send the most violent migrants to Guantánamo Bay.
