Nine workers detained during a federal immigration raid at the Tupper Lake Pine Mill will be deported, according to the mill's officials.
Nine workers at the Tupper Lake Pine Mill in northern New York were detained during a federal immigration raid by ICE agents on February 25 and will now face deportation. The Quebec-based mill stated that it believes all the detained employees were authorized to work in the U.S., and they have not had any contact with the workers since the raid occurred a month ago. The employees came from various countries, though specific details regarding their nationalities have not been released. Despite attempts to reach them, ICE officials have not responded to calls for comment regarding the incident. The raid has raised questions about the workers' immigration status and the mill's compliance with federal regulations. via The Press Republican
