DENVER --
Immigrant rights advocates united in a prayer vigil Tuesday night in Denver after the latest arrests of undocumented immigrants in a workplace raid.
It happened in the San Luis Valley Tuesday morning. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 19 workers at Worley & McCullough, Inc., a potato farm and processing plant near Monte Vista.
Ten of the immigrants are men, eight are women and one is a boy.
Jordan Garcia of Coloradans for Immigrant Rights says, "These ICE raids have to stop. Children are being terrorized and families ripped apart by these humanitarian offenses." He says, "We need real solutions that will serve our communities, economies and families." The group says comprehensive immigration reform is the answer.
Jeff Copp, ICE spokesman, says "These worksite enforcement actions help reduce the job magnet that encourages aliens to enter the country illegally. Anyone who is in the United States illegally runs the risk of being identified and ultimately deported."
The undocumented immigrants are staying in the Park County jail for the night. Wednesday, they will be transferred to the ICE contract detention facility in Denver. Then, ICE will begin deportation proceedings.
