Fort Payne, AL-Federal agents have arrested dozens of Hispanic illegal immigrants in Dekalb County. Officials have been targeting several towns and rounding up people to deport them.

More than forty illegal immigrants have been taken into custody. Federal agents from Immigration Customs Enforcement known as ICE have been rounding up illegals at
mobile home parks. Some residents who live close to where the raids were conducted had mixed feelings about what the federal authorities are doing. Jean Nelson is the manager at Dallas Place restaurant in Crossville. "They have been here so long and they have families and when they get deported their families get left behind" Nelson said. "And I have problems with that and I feel bad for them".

Officials from the Southern Poverty Law Center are calling the raids a violation of civil rights. Mary Bauer is the centers legal director and she is investigating to make sure
authorities used proper procedures. "They stopped Latinos asked them about their status and went into their homes without permission and in general really terrified a community that has already been terrorized by this law" Bauer said.

The ICE raids were conducted in Fort Payne and in Collinsville.
