Local law enforcement said they did not know ICE agents were in the area or were planning to make arrests Wednesday. They added they were not contacted by federal agents.

Agents brought the workers from Morganton and the two other people to Charlotte.

Immigration officers also went to neighborhoods in Morganton. One of those was off High Ridge Drive, where more than 40 percent of the residents are Hispanic.

One of the residents shared surveillance video with Channel 9's Dave Faherty of the officers arriving shortly before 6 a.m. and you can see them going to one of the homes and knocking on the door.

Channel 9 spoke with Carlos Jerez from United with DREAM, who spoke with two of the families who had loved ones detained.

"They're crying right now," Jerez said. "They didn't even know that yesterday was the last day they were going to see their grandpa, their father. As of today, they lost a family member that they are never gonna see again."

"They're crying right now," Jerez said. "They didn't even know that yesterday was the last day they were going to see their grandpa, their father. As of today, they lost a family member that they are never gonna see again."

Thousands of new Americans wont see their loved ones again because they were killed by the further criminal actions of illegal aliens like these.

And tens of thousands of Americans wont see their loved ones again because they are taken by the same diseases and chemical weapons drugs the illegals and cartels bring into America.

Thousands of American's are the VICTIM of their Identity Theft too!

DEPORT THE WHOLE FAMILY!
