It started out as a simple code enforcement assignment for Kern County Sheriff's deputies and code enforcement officers Thursday afternoon.

It ended up as a major raid by deputies and federal immigration agents that led the apprehension and deportation of 38 undocumented aliens, all from Mexico, living at four locations in Ford City.

Deputies and code enforcement officers went to 216 Monroe St. to investigate code enforcement issues and found 18 men, all in this county illegally, living in a large room at the house.

“It was an (illegal alien) motel,â€

CA needs the same program the are using in AZ to take them to court and process them as misdemeanors then if they come back its a felony and can't come back into this country for 10 years.

The raids were halted only because they ran out of room on the bus.

Call for another bus.............

"The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence." Article IV Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

CA is doing something, why isn't Nevada?

This is great and I do not want to take away from any positive news. However, imagine how many more houses there are in California that contain 18 illegals living in one room.

ICE needs to conduct such raids in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. I guarantee they will discover more homes with 18 illegals living in one room.

I also like how the local sheriff contacted ICE and they sent a bus right away. That's great! That's how it's supposed to work. Next time, have more buses ready!

Good job Ford City
